[Verse 1]
I stole her from Emmett Fry and now what's done is done
Like any man I'm afraid to die but I'm hurt too bad to run
I ran with her to Walker's Woods with him close on my heels
I knew he'd kill to get her back and I know just how he feels
[Chorus]
Oh, the sun never shines in Walker's Woods
I doubt that it would want to come in even if it could
For the gators and the cottonmouths and the sand that pulls you down
Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned
[Verse 2]
By the quicksand over there my dream came to an end
She said, "It was a big mistake that she'd return to him"
So I gave her to a hungry sand now all I loved is dead
And all that's left is the scarlet rag that she wore upon her head
[Chorus]
Oh, the sun never shines in Walker's Woods
I doubt that it would want to come in even if it could
For the gators and the cottonmouths and the sand that pulls you down
Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned
[Verse 3]
No regrets I loved her five more minutes I'll be free
I might have made it if that cottonmouth hadn't made it's strike at me
And I have to laugh when I think how mad old Emmett's gonna be
When he finds dead and he never got to take a shot at me
[Chorus]
Oh, the sun never shines in Walker's Woods
I doubt that it would want to come in even if it could
For the gators and the cottonmouths and the sand that pulls you down
Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned
Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned
