| Down the crooked road a ways |
| A child’s shadow hiding in the briar |
| Tending to a twisted heart that’s bent and broken |
| Wounded and abandoned left amongst the rotted root to rot |
| Moon, crimson moon |
| Rose marie’s walking down the crooked road a ways |
| All aglow, her fair white skin |
| Portrait of beauty, angel to many |
| Hears the hush crying from the briar |
| Reaches in her hand to see what’s the matter |
| And is dragged through the darkness |
| Beneath the lonely cypress |
| The town’s beloved daughter |
| Carried to her death in the turbid waters |
| And set afloat downstream |
| Whole town erupts, bursts into flame |
| Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways |
| Find old rufus there drunk and asleep |
| Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter |
| Can’t hold back these waves of anger |
| Tie a rope around his neck |
| See if he still hollers |
