One-Dog Brown Lyrics

One-Dog Brown was a crazy man Lived in the hills in back of my land Had a Rebel flag and a half-dead dog Showed no fear of man nor God Chorus: With a man like that you just can't tell No one's left who knew him well With a man like that it might be true But he won't tell me And he won't tell you Sundown came I'd hear him sing All about love and the pain it brings Story was told that he killed his wife Burled her bones in the full moon light Winter came 'round and I fell sick My fever raged and I was fading quick Had a crazy dream about One-Dog Brown Standin' by me as the sun went down He told me boy, I just save your life Then disappeard in the full moon light When I hear him singin' up on the hill I just don't know and I wonder still
