Take Us Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your mamma told you
Told you to stay away
Pappa done scold you girl
Don't hear a word he say
He said
Over my body
No star-crossed lover lay
You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry, pretty baby
They'll never take us alive
Tell me you're leaving it
Leaving it all behind
Better believe in me
Never treat you unkind
(A little closer girl)
Come take my hand child
I'll love you
For a million miles
You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry, pretty baby
They'll never take us alive
Save our souls, save our souls
Save our souls, save our souls
You better run, I gotta hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive
You better run, and I can hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us
Don't you worry pretty mamma
They'll never break us
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive
