Headed for the Hills

Well I forded the river

I paid all my bills

Gave a gift to the giver

Now I'm headed for the hills

I paid back my borrows

Likewise all my dues

I'll be gone tomorrow

Nothing here I can use

Once I had a a woman

Deaf and mute and blind

Only one could hear me

When I tried to speak my mind

Once I had a fiddle

Once I had a bow

There's nothing on the griddle

But I paid back all I owed

Can't roll off to glory

Much less Arkansas

Or freedom teritory

Till you satisfy the law

No love, lock and chain

Provides me the key

No blood-soaked law of Cain

Can set my spirit free

Last thing I got to do

One thing before I go

To say my love for you

Was all the love I know

If you don't forget me

I'll do the same for you

Forever in your memory

To pay back all that's due
