I headed out before the sun gave chase
Binnie said that they would case the place
Take my word for it
Know I'm good for it
I won't tell you no lie

We spread all over these plains of fate
Asked around and damn near no one could relate
Take my word for it
Know I'm good for it
I won't tell you no lie

There was no place I could hide
Crossing over Pete's divide
I never needed that medicine
But I sure'd like to see you all again

Help me get back to big
Help me get back to big creek
One more time
With the water at our feet
When it's running fast and deep

I settled down into another lull
Death was close and the gin went straight to my skull
Take my word for it
Know I'm good for it
I won't tell you no lie

They shot Binnie first and then they tracked me down
Shot me dead in my own hometown
Take my word for it
Know I'm good for it
I won't tell you no lie

There was no place I could hide
Crossing over Pete's divide
I never needed that medicine
But I sure'd like to see you all again

Help me get back to big
Help me get back to big creek
One more time
With the water at our feet
When it's running fast and deep

Help me get back to big
Help me get back to big creek
One more time
With the water at our feet
When it's running fast and deep

Help me get back to big
Help me get back to big creek
One more time
With the water at our feet
When it's running fast and deep
