danville

let him sit in the kitchen

till the red rooster crows

and drink bootleg whiskey

till he loses control

let him find him somebody

he can treat like a dog

let the house fall down

and let him grow old

but she ain't goin' back

she ain't goin' back

she ain't goin' back to danville

till she's dead

he got the whole town believin'

that she was to blame

this towns filled with people

with his last name

she's heard that the devil

lives way down below

but the devils little brother

lives on old danville road

now her mommas tombstone

sits high on a hill

she been gone seven years

she misses her still

but one fine day

they'll be together again

shell go back to danville

if they'll let her in
