Pistols and Penance Lyrics by King Giant

Dismal Hollow

0

Hilltop baby, appalachian queen
Slide across the barroom floor, beautiful and lean
You can't have it both ways, go on and pick a side
Who will stand by you, when the other dies
He was a real go getter, a magnificent dresser
A killer with the ladies, and a hell of a dancer
A trailer park prophet, and a Friday night fighter
He's a hit on Sunday morning, with the bride of the pastor
( all this town is buzzin'
Can't you hear them say my name )
She was a go-go dancer, and a glorious dresser
A sexy little number, that little harlot's a cancer
Pistols and penance, he will die with his sins
20 paces and the honor of one
Was she even worth it, I ask you son?
YOU TOOK THE HAND OF A STRANGER
Hope he loved you honey, I couldn't tell
YOU TOOK THE BED OF THAT STRANGER
See ya later boy, enjoy your time in hell
HE HAD HIS WAY WITH AN ANGEL
Pretty little thing, oh my, how far you fell
HE HAD HIS WAY WITH AN ANGEL
YOU TOOK THE HAND OF A STRANGER
Hope he loved you honey, I couldn't tell
YOU TOOK THE BED OF THAT STRANGER
See ya later boy, enjoy your time in hell
HE HAD HIS WAY WITH AN ANGEL
Pretty little thing, oh my, how far you fell
YOU TOOK THE HAND OF A STRANGER
Hilltop baby, appalachian queen
Slide across the barroom floor, beautiful and lean
You can't have it both ways, go on and pick a side
Who will stand by you, when the other dies
