High Sheriff Of Calhoun Parrish

[00:00:00] High Sheriff Of Calhoun Parrish - Tony Joe White

[00:00:11] It was said of the sheriff to Calhoun Parish

[00:00:16] Not to ever touch his daughter Emily

[00:00:21] For to look at her with lustful eyes was certain

[00:00:27] To get you a time in the penitentiary

[00:00:35] It was true she was quite voluptuous

[00:00:40] And it was true she had eyes for me

[00:00:45] Then one night at a dance she walked up to me

[00:00:51] And ask me would I meet her down by the creek

[00:01:02] As I listened to her dangerous proposal

[00:01:07] I thought about the high sheriff catching me

[00:01:13] As I shook my head and quietly left the party

[00:01:18] I heard her laugh and say

[00:01:21] "You'll be sorry"

[00:01:29] Then there came upon my door a loud disturbance

[00:01:34] I opened it to the sheriff and his deputy

[00:01:39] He said "Son did you molest my daughter "

[00:01:45] I said "Sheriff

[00:01:46] I do not know of what you speak"

[00:01:53] Then he grabbed me roughly by the collar

[00:01:58] And he flung me sprawling out into the street

[00:02:03] There were days in the jail with claustrophobia

[00:02:09] And all on account of that wench Emily

[00:02:17] Well I finally worked a bar loose from the window

[00:02:23] And made my way into the woods of Calhoun

[00:02:28] Late that night I came upon a cabin

[00:02:33] It was the home of Harham Cross a friend I knew

[00:02:42] Would you all mind if I sat down at your table

[00:02:47] 'Cause it's been a while since I've had time to eat

[00:02:53] And I'll pay y'all back when I'm able

[00:02:58] But right now the high sheriff is after me

[00:03:38] You see

[00:03:42] Ooh
