Lord he done gone and failed me now
I knew that snake would run
Like a snowball in the sun
I guess I'm not the chosen one
Bury my head deep in the sand
In the sun I hear no sound
In the rain I slide on down
Lord nail my bones to the ground
Sure he done gone and left me dead
Well I knew that dog would cheat
Chew the heels right off my feet
Leave me burnin’ in the reckless heat
Got me hooked on highs and lows
Like a preacherman profound
Like a sinnerman I'm hell-bound
Lord nail my hands to the ground
Show me north of misery
I'll walk as far as I can see
Take me to the edge of town
Western winds come howlin’ down
Oh lord, turn me around
Devil done gone and stole my soul
Been sprawled across the bed
Been wishin’ I was dead
Full of hate and fear and dread
Raise me from the pits of hell
From the hunger and the thirst
Tryin'a figure out which is worse
And lift this gutless curse
But there’s a pride down deep inside
For the women who rise above
For the men who talk of love
Wish I was strong enough
There’s a fire burns deep inside
For the haunted and the hurt
For a vengeance pure at heart
Lord nail my bones to the ground
Misery loves misery
It’s a never-ending ride
Like a brain without the storm
Like a moon without the shine
One day soon I do declare
Gonna shed this broken skin
Gonna find a peace within
And feast upon my sins

This album is amazing from start to finish. My favourite track is The Golden Hind closely followed by Mow The Sward.
Fantastic, thank you Crazy Arm Steve Bullock
