No no momma now devil don't do si do

Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road

The coins in their eyes represent the money they owe

No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told

Down by the bayou

Try to play with the caine, you ah

It's a shame to lose the light that shines (shame shame)

Oh it's a shame to lose your way as a child
