One Foot in the Graveyard by the Swannannoah Mumblers

ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVEYARD (Sailor/Mentzer) Wandering’ through the shadows Like a ghost who’s lost his way The sheriff’s on his trail now Looks like there’s hell to pay Looks like there’s hell to pay He’s got one foot in the graveyard Looks like there’s hell to pay She took his best friend’s hand now And in her bed they lay He nearly lost his mind then Upon his wedding day Upon his wedding day He’s got one foot in the graveyard Upon his wedding day The torture’s almost over With this horse between his knees A shot rings out and darkness falls He’s swinging’ in the breeze He’s swinging’ in the breeze He’ll soon be in the graveyard But now he’s swinging’ in the breeze
