Dutchman Falls

Oh, in the cornfield beneath

Hangman Street

Is a rock with some initials

And beneath it is me

I need all your forgiveness and most of your love

You see, the hangman

You saw hanging

That wasn't who I was

But nobody noticed

Nobody cared but me

Well, I knew she'd been unfaithful

But he knew she had to pay

So I grew to be more like him

With each passing of each day

But I slipped out on some side road

I thought things I'd never dared

So I went to a tool shed

Put shellac in my hand

Oh, but nobody noticed

Nobody cared but me

Oh, oh, ohhh...

Well, I came to Dutchman Falls

With my hatchet and my dog

Well, she must have raised her hands

I must have cut her down like cake

And you know the man I was

He left me long enough

Was sad enough to say

Now we were a virtue

In pride and murder sin

I have no need for redemption

I had no need for you
