lirik lagu steve earle – taneytown
i went down to taneytown
i went down to taneytown
to see what i could see
my mama told me never go
but i’m almost 22 years old
sometimes i fear this holler swollow me
she ran off to gettysburg
went off with that new beau of hers
i snuck off after dark
long way down the county road
stars were bright
the moon was low
down to where the black top highway starts
i went down to taneytown
i went down to taneytown
i went down to see what i could see
i could see everybody stared at me
you’d think that they ain’t never seen
a colored boy before
they chunked at me at me
called me names
they’d have whipped me sure but the sheriff came
i slipped off through the dry goods store
i ran down division street
some of them boys followed me
down to the railroad track
four of them and i cain’t fight
but i had my old randall knife
i cut that boy and i never did look back
i went down to taneytown
i went down to taneytown
i went down to see what i could see
month went by without a word
somebody down the holler heard
about that boy they hung
he begged those men to spare his life
but i dropped my bl–dy randall knife
he picked it up so they thought he was the one
i went down to taneytown
i went down to taneytown
i ain’t goin’ back there anymore
