Cold Iron lyrics

My baby died


should have buried her at the crossroads

Well, my baby died

should have buried her at the crossroads

Cause she comes to see me every night

makes me reap what I have sewed.



I went to see the preacherman

didn't know what else to do

Yeah, I went to see the preacherman

didn't know what else to do

cause that woman she won't leave me alone

I'm payin' the price for bein' untrue



Preacherman told me,

keep some cold iron by the bed

preacherman, he done told me

keep some cold iron by my bed

cause that's what you gotta do

when you're haunted by the livin' dead



So I got me some cold iron

and some dimes to pay my toll

Yeah I got me some cold iron

and some dimes to pay my toll

I'm gonna send that woman back where she belongs

I hope it don't cost me my soul
