D

1940 Paris, Tx Jack your daddy went to war

Em C Em C D

Mama started cryin turned and locked that door

D

Watch that old man beat your uncle in the barn until he died

Em C Em C D

Something that you saw that day got twisted up inside

Now you tried in vein to find yourself a woman who would stay

Five wives wentin the ground and the Devil turned you a stray

It's a long old hill and long hard wheel turnin harder every day

Hey jack you sell your soul you never will get paid

Chorus:

G D

One foot deeper, with a ??? to blame

D A

Dead or alive you plan to keep her just the same

F D G

Can you hear the moan in the cold dark rain

D F D

The devil answered for you when ????? called your name

Now Emily she was leavin you the night before she died

Guess she finally figured out no one leaves Jack Reeves alive

She's just a lonesome force out on the wind from a cold and shallow grave

Dropped down to your knees but there was nothing left to say

Chorus

Now you're sittin down in Huntsville with your head down in your hands

If you'dve dug the hole a little deeper you'd still be a free man

Save something for the livin from a heart that knows no shame

You'll always have to answer when Emily she calls your name
