lyrics

Just like the night
you took the light
& stole away
behind the trees

just a little fight
for such a frenzied flight
you stole away
behind the trees

Behind the trees
is where they found you.
Behind the trees
is where you lay.
Behind the trees
in the heather
your hair scattered
like torn bird feathers, Mae
Behind the trees
& into the night.

With the morning light
came such an awful sight
you torn & twisted
behind the trees
Like a wayward kite
came the sheriff's lights
& you, torn & twisted
behind the trees

Through his deputy
the sheriff, he told me
"Hey, boy. You're looking at life."
I said, "Oh, god, man.
You got the wrong man.
I never touched a hair
on the head of my wife."

He said, "I guess we'll have to wait & see
& leave it to the people of Harlan County.
Let them decide if you're to be free."
I said, "I ain't got the money
for no high-class attorney, buddy.
We'll have to wait & see."
