The Parish Line
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.
young temptation
please don't wink your eyes
they got laws in Louisiana
make a grown man cry
and I don't want no trouble
beyond the parish line
please I beg you
don't try to hold me tight
there are those who would help me
not make it home tonight
other eyes are watchin'
beyond the parish line
love and misfortune
together by some design
could have sure made it easy
for gold a fool to find
And I don't take no chance
beyond the parish line
wheels are turning
but I let them pass me by
I'm gonna walk to the boarder
and then I will hitch a ride
and I don't trust nobody
till I cross that parish line
I don't trust nobody
till I cross that parish line
I don't trust nobody
till I cross that parish line
