[00:14.041]Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming up the river
[00:22.139]With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail
[00:30.576]I think you'd better call John
[00:33.241]Because it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
[00:39.432]And it's less than a mile away
[00:44.029]I hope they didn't come to stay
[00:47.974]It's got numbers on the side and a gun
[00:51.657]And it's making big waves
[01:05.972]Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains
[01:14.070]Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou
[01:22.612]So the powers that be left me here to do the thinking
[01:31.311]And I just turned twenty-two
[01:35.673]I was wondering what to do
[01:40.219]And the closer they got
[01:42.517]The more those feelings grew
[01:48.996]...
[02:48.842]Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring
[02:56.757]He told me, Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothing
[03:05.665]But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it coming
[03:13.920]Raised my rifle to my eye
[03:18.596]Never stopped to wonder why
[03:23.193]Then I saw black
[03:24.970]And my face splashed in the sky
[03:31.579]...
[04:30.955]Shelter me from the powder and the finger
[04:39.549]Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
[04:47.700]Think of me as one you'd never figured
[04:56.033]Would fade away so young
[05:01.153]With so much left undone
[05:05.567]Remember me to my love
[05:08.232]I know I'll miss her
[05:16.852]...

The more those feelings grew

Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring
He told me, Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothing
But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it coming
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black
And my face splashed in the sky

Shelter me from the powder and the finger
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Think of me as one you'd never figured
Would fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love
I know I'll miss her
