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
