Bells – The Unlikely Candidates

There used to be an angel watching over me
But she left me when I drank from river of blood
Down in Biloxi

I used to see the light in the dark souls around me
But I traded all my life for some lovin’ and some gold
Down in Tennessee

And where we go, nobody knows
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh lord
We’re going down, six underground
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh lord

They laid me down in a-Georgla
They said “We’re gonna dig it for ya
You wasted all your life and never got it right
Now we’ll teach you ’bout loss and pain”

But this was something that Johnny blue
Cannot ever take from you
You can take my gun and you can take my boots
But those hounds, they comin’ for you, no

And where we go, nobody knows
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh lord
We’re going down, six underground
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh lord

Oh lord, oh lord
Oh lord, oh lord

I used to see the light in the dark souls around me
Now when I come to the sky, I’m not askin’ why
When the bell hits 12, I’ll swing

And where we go, nobody knows
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh lord
We’re going down, six underground
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh lord
Those bells are ringing, those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh lord
Oh lord
