In the Backwoods Company
They enhancing Ben and me
Forced to gamble, learn to cheat
In the Backwoods Company.

Maybe down by the all done cheat
Don't cut my hair and then marry me
Lock me up then set me out to sea.

In the Backwoods Company
Bread from Jesus spoke at me
Smoking pistol, burned my hand
In the Backwoods, they understand

Maybe down by the all done cheat
Don't cut my hair and then marry me
Lock me up then set me out to

Dropped my gun
Dropped my gun
Dropped my gun
Dropped my gun

Maybe down by the all done cheat
Don't cut my hair and then marry me
Lock me up then set me out to sea

Lock me up then set me out to sea.
