Shacktown Girl Video (MV)

I met a little girl up in Shacktown
A girl we knew so well
Every Sunday evening in her home I'd dwell
I took her for an evening walk
I'd say about a quarter mile outta town
I picked me up a hardwood stick
And I knocked that fair girl down
She fell down on her bended knees
Have mercy she did cry
Oh Willie my dear don't murder me here
I'm unprepared to die
Took her by her long blonde curls
And then I swung her round and round
Threw her in that Rouge River
That flowed thru NorWayne town
Go down Go down you Shacktown girl
With your cold and lyin eyes
Go down go down you Shacktown girl
You can never be my bride
Oh hell no

They arrested me and carried me down
To that Wayne County jail
I called on everyone I knew
But no one would float my bail
Her sister swore my life away
She swore without, without a doubt
That I'm the very man
That laid her sister, oh i laid her sister out
Now I'm wasting my life away
Down in this dirty old cell
Because I killed that Shacktown girl
That I loved so well
I really loved that girl
I'm gonna miss ya baby
