[Verse 1] Mmmm Down in Mississippi where the swamp turns green The night brings on the lost and obscene Where good men rot and evil is alive Some say they met their maker When Max Clark arrived [Verse 2] With a noose 'round his neck The story was told His wife and his son dead and cold The devils come a-creepin' when the moon is high Max Clark set out to lay the dead to rest [Chorus] One Two Three Four Put a bullet in a head and there'll be no more Five Six Seven Eight I could save your life But it might be too late One Two Three Four Put a bullet in a head and there'll be no more Five Six Seven Eight I could save your life But it might be too late Ah [Verse 3] Some men will beg and some men will pray Some men will run and some men will stay There's a place for the dead and a place for the lost It's a dangerous game when you double-cross [Chorus] One Two Three Four Put a bullet in a head and there'll be no more Five Six Seven Eight I could save your life But it might be too late One Two Three Four Put a bullet in a head and there'll be no more Five Six Seven Eight I could save your life But it might be too late One Two Three Four Put a bullet in a head and there'll be no more Five Six Seven Eight I could save your life But it might be too late Ah Mmm
