We were raised in the nettles
And they showed how they grow-
Where a poison comes to settle
And what a poisoned man comes to know So me and Jessie, we left Ohio-
Left him bleeding on the valley floor
I felt so dirty I could hardly stand it-
Carrying Jessie on my back She said, hold on, I know you'll bury him for me
Hold on, I know you'll bury him for me
Hold on, I know you'll carry me and carry me and
Carry me home Tell me nothing's wrong there
Tell me nothing's wrong there
Tell me nothing's wrong there
