Mr. Allen was sittin' in them stone walls
Off of Fill Bridge Rd
Had a worn Bible sittin' in his old hands
Turned to the Book of Job
Readin' on a story he recalls to well
From 30 years ago
Too many things he learned in that old cell
And his story goes
He was down by the water
When his son was killed by another man's daughter
Who set him up to well
Knew he was saved by the blood of the Son
While he looked into the eyes of his dyin' one
Mr. Allen looked up as she dropped that gun
Like a bat outta hell she sped to Sheriff Dunn
The law pulled up, saw what was done
And they didn't know, they had the wrong one
Mr. Allen
Now Mr. Allen
Had the right to keep his mouth shut
Never thought he'd be sittin
At the foot of the judge
Swore he had a steady alibi
So he stood on up to testify
Said he was down by the water
When his son was killed by another man's daughter
Who set him up to well
Knew he was saved by the blood of the Son
While he looked into the eyes of his dyin' one
Mr. Allen looked up as she dropped that gun
Like a bat outta hell she sped to Sheriff Dunn
The law pulled up, saw what was done
And they didn't know, they had the wrong one
Mr. Allen
Sheriff Dunn had some Devil in his blood
Messin' around with Mr. Allen's son's woman
And he swore that it was love
Felt like they had no choice, so he showed her what to do
Said"They'll be down by Ocmulgee, just gotta fire it at noon"
He was down by the water
When his son was killed by another man's daughter
Who shoulda been in that cell
Knew he was saved by the blood of the Son
While he looked into the eyes of his dyin' one
Mr. Allen looked up as she dropped that gun couldn't
Help but see she's in love with Sheriff Dunn
The law pulled up, saw what was done
And they didn't know, they had the wrong one
Mr. Allen
