The Ghost of Macon Jones

[00:42.96] Well the river keeps on rollin', time marches on

[00:49.34] The sun hides in the shadows, you know where you belong

[00:53.57] You walk in the silence readin' names on the stones

[01:02.26] You can roll with the tide, but you can't hide

[01:06.20] From the ghost of Macon Jones

[01:11.25] Well they always came to church, sat up in the back

[01:16.30] Drank the holy water, dapper dressed in black

[01:20.81] Away from the rich folk where they let down his bones

[01:28.97] Now they whisper at the sermons

[01:31.50] They can hear the ghost of Macon Jones

[01:37.96] From the time he was a child, it was easy to make friends

[01:43.02] Some swore they found, right up to the end

[01:47.23] When he jumped off that bridge they just watched and went back home

[01:55.65] They all cried to their mommas that they saw

[01:59.31] The ghost of Macon Jones

[02:04.36] In the nights, right along

[02:13.64] In your fight, just stay strong

[02:22.09] In the ill-fated wind, just go

[02:31.38] Yeah you need to unlearn, what you've been told

[02:37.56] ---

[03:46.17] No one knows what happened, 'cause the truth will often lie

[03:52.27] Widows swear he loved 'em, he was born to make them cry

[03:56.48] Sometimes a man believes he's destined to go at this life alone

[04:04.92] If you head down that cold river you'll feel

[04:08.58] The ghost of Macon Jones

[04:13.91] Some say that he died, with a smile on his face

[04:18.98] Others say he cried, he never found his place

[04:23.19] If you listen to your fears you might hear his restless moan

[04:31.63] When they start digging up your dirt

[04:33.89] You'll meet the ghost of Macon Jones

[04:40.61] If you see your reflection in the water

[04:44.26] That's the ghost of Macon Jones
