Lyrics:
Up the stairs and to the back doorOf a Williamson County hotelLives a lady who sells her timeIve grown to know her quite wellEach Sunday would find usOn a picnic by the riversideThen we'd ride her surreyDown on Carter's Creek PikeThis Sunday she acts differentI feel theres something strangeHer lips began to speakAnother mans nameTo think that only moments agoI picked her a blood red roseNow the same hands that catered to herAre clutching at her throatShe struggled to find strengthThen I heard her screamYou're haunted and love will not die hereI'll return to curse your dreamsSo each night in my dreamsMy mind will wanderDown to the riverThat I put her underAnd I ride this nightmareAll over Williamson CountyThe devil waits on my soul for his paymentI await the hunter of my bounty
