Bottineau

Oh-ha-ho    Bottineau      Oh-ha-ho    Bottineau
Ruby red, In her bed, Left for dead, Her lover fled…Bottineau
Cold as sin, Whisperin’, As lonely as she’d ever been…Bottineau

There’s only one thing that she ever wanted
There’s only one that she’d ever need
Angels scream from the woodshed
Nightmares for a sleepyhead…
In the badlands it’s common to be, Left for dead….

Oh-ha-ho    Bottineau
Choke Cherry lies, Silo cries, The freedom that white skin buys…Bottineau
Haunted by the Holy Ghost and the spirits of brave and buffalo…Bottineau                         

There’s only one thing that he ever wanted…
There’s only one that I’d he’d ever need…
She promised to forget me not…
What’s he have that I ain’t got…?
Now, pray to God… You don’t get caught…                                        

Some acts, cannot be forgiven…
And for some sins the torture is built in…
The souls of Sioux, They shriek your name…
Missileers takin’ aim…
And you can’t help feelin’…
God’s to blame…                              

Oh-ha-ho    Bottineau
Cleanse my body and my soul, Erase my past, Black as coal…Bottineau
Good Lord, Fire, Water, Wind…There’s no shelter from my sins…Bottineau

There’s only one thing that I ever wanted…
There’s only one that I’d ever need…
God has thundered his good-bye’s…
While Hell keens her lullabies…
In Bottineau…No devil dies…
