Told my captain
My hands were cold
Said "Damn your hands, boy
Let the wheelin' roll"
I asked my captain
To give me my time
Damn old captain
Wouldn't pay me no mind
I raised my hand
To wipe the sweat off my head
Captain got mad, boy
Shot my buddy dead
Captain walkin'
Up and down
Buddy's layin' dead, boy
On the burning ground
If you don't believe
My buddy is dead
Just look at that hole
In my buddy's head
Buzzard's circlin'
Round the sky
You know my captain
Surely bound to die
Surely bound to die
Surely bound to die
