A low down murdering blues song that requires a rough blues guitar and slide. I'm rooting for the murderer. Kill that bastard. Needs a collab/ music.
Wrote yesterday. Finished today. This doesn't quite fall into the murder ballads genre, of which I am quite fond.
Now We Both Gonna Die
Each day I pray for sundown
But it ain't hardly noon
That over seer's on me
He watchin what I'm doin
He say you keep a straight line
Hey boy what's wrong with you?
I say yessuh directly
That's what I'm fixin to
Them gnats is all around us
It crazy up the mule
I try to keep her steady
She thrashin like a fool
He got his whup in hand now
I know he gonna try
If that man goin whup me now
Then we both gonna die
Guitar break
Hey boy what I done told you
I told you toe the line
Ain't enough stripes on your back?
I'll whup you one more time
I work sunrise to sundown
An longer with a moon
The anger ragin up now
And it ain't hardly noon
He look right at me funny
He never seen me smile
Today we meet our maker
It comin to a boil
He got his whup in hand now
Come on now just you try
Done whup me for the last time
Now we both gonna die!
(hearty laugh)
Guitar break
Done whup me for the last time
Now we both gonna die!

Wow. That is a great song. We Both Gonna Die is a nice twist to the Righteous Murder songs.
Hope you find a great collaborator to play the guitar on it.
