BIG ELK - “Now She’s Gone” [Lyrics]

I.

I was a burden, Lord
I was a burden
And she lifted me
Up over the gate.

She brought me water
She brought me water
And now I’m drownin’
In all my shame.

CHORUS

She was my angel
I was her devil
And now she’s gone
She’s gone away.

II.

This world’s a cold one
This world’s a cold one
Can’t find no shelter
Anywhere I go.

She told me so, Lord
She told me so
And now I’m crying
The rest of my days.

(Chorus)

III.

The river is high, Lord
The river is high
A cold wind blows
From across the plain.

She took me captive
She took me captive
I was her rebel
I could not wait.

(Chorus)

IV.

She healed my wounds, Lord
She healed my wounds
I was so hungry
I could not eat.

I made her sick, Lord
I made her sick
By putting my seed
Inside her warmth.

(Chorus)

V.

They’re coming to kill me
They’re coming to kill me
Oh what I done, Lord
I will not say.

I have regrets, Lord
I have regrets, Lord
I know that Heaven
Has passed me by.

(Chorus)

VI.

I should have saved her
I should have saved her
But I was afraid, Lord
I’m not a man.

And for my sins, Lord
And for my sins, Lord
I’m doomed to die
It’s what I deserve.

(Chorus)
