Harry Hudson The Legend Of The Yellow Rose Lyrics
The Legend Of The Yellow Rose by Harry Hudson
[Chorus]
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, that can hold me down
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down tonight
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, that can hold me down
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down tonight
Bang, Bang, talk your talk
My dogs bark when the shots go off
Bang, Bang, Bang, murder she wrote
Hands go up and knees to the floor
Everybody's shaking when I ride up
True definition of a rider
Screams sound just like a choir
And me no ear no liars
[Verse 1]
I'm the one to shoot the sheriff, you just load the gun
I see you standing but no bodies standing up
I see you giving and don't see me giving up now
Told me toughen up so I can take a punch now
See life is hard, can't you tell
Stack or starve, free the innocent in jail
Fuck 'em all, I'm a dog straight from hell
In the belly of the beast, grab a shovel and a pail now
[Chorus]
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, that can hold me down
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down tonight
I said there ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, that can hold me down
There ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down tonight
Bang, Bang, talk your talk
My dogs bark when the shots go off
Bang bang bang, murder she wrote
Hands go up and knees to the floor
Everybody's shaking when I ride up
True definition of a rider
Screams sound just like a choir
And me no ear no liars
[Verse 2]
And if I die after today
Pick a yellow rose, throw it on my grave
Land of the free, yeah, we're still slaves
Stuck in a life that's not so safe
Ey, ey, ey bury me alive and hear me say
[Chorus]
There ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down
That can hold me down
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down tonight
I said there ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down
That can hold me down
There ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, tonight
[Refrain]
All my problems fade away
And all my body aches
We all got waves that wash away
And all the time is ticking
Sail away, sail away, sail away
Sail away, sail away, sail away
Sail away, sail away
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, that can hold me down
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down tonight
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, that can hold me down
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down tonight
Bang, Bang, talk your talk
My dogs bark when the shots go off
Bang, Bang, Bang, murder she wrote
Hands go up and knees to the floor
Everybody's shaking when I ride up
True definition of a rider
Screams sound just like a choir
And me no ear no liars
[Verse 1]
I'm the one to shoot the sheriff, you just load the gun
I see you standing but no bodies standing up
I see you giving and don't see me giving up now
Told me toughen up so I can take a punch now
See life is hard, can't you tell
Stack or starve, free the innocent in jail
Fuck 'em all, I'm a dog straight from hell
In the belly of the beast, grab a shovel and a pail now
[Chorus]
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, that can hold me down
Ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down tonight
I said there ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, that can hold me down
There ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down tonight
Bang, Bang, talk your talk
My dogs bark when the shots go off
Bang bang bang, murder she wrote
Hands go up and knees to the floor
Everybody's shaking when I ride up
True definition of a rider

That can hold me down
Ain't no grave that can hold me down

That can hold me down
That can hold me down
There ain't no grave that can hold me down
That can hold me down, tonight
[Refrain]
All my problems fade away
And all my body aches
We all got waves that wash away
And all the time is ticking
Sail away, sail away, sail away
Sail away, sail away, sail away
Sail away, sail away
