Lyrics
“I wrote this song after reading Memphis Minnie’s bio”. She has been a major influence to me not only because of her guitar playing but her strength of character and being a bad-ass”.
My hellhound Hound caught up with me
I’ve run for years with Him on my trail
Now I lay my body down
As the Undertaker pounds his last nail
Oh death won’t you be kind
If I’ve done wrong forgive me
When I finally close my eyes
Please help me see
Hitch up the horse drawed hearse
Cover me in a long black veil
A jazz band is gonna play my song
When the undertaker pounds his last nail
