The Krista Detor Band - 'Early Grave' from Slats Klug's Album, "Liar's Bench". Live at the Shrewsbury Festival 2009
EARLY GRAVE - Slats Klug (Liars Bench) Lyrics:
Its the morning of another day
That wont be mourning me
Cause the fool that lashes out my way
Will get a taste of hickory
Quicker than a matchhead fire
Ill strike him to an early grave
And the man who lays a hand on me
Best have his funeral paid
A woman came back round my kitchen door
For some tea and sympathy
Shot of courage and a talkin to
Got that woman off her knees
If youre doin business in the dark
In stone your name will be engraved
Cause the man who lays a hand on me
Best have his funeral paid.
Oh, oh.did you hear that graveyard moan
Whoa oh the ghost you've seen mighta' been your own
Theres one more thing that you should know
When you hear them hellhounds rave
Youre the man who laid a hand on me
Lyin in an early grave
Bury me in calico when my time has come
I will walk his royal road from his valley in the sun
Sing my praises soft and low
The Lord you know aint deaf
Anyone who tries to damn my soul
Hell be drawin his last breath
And the man who lays a hand on me
Best have his funeral paid.
Krista Detor, Dave Weber, Esme Folley, Mike Lindauer

True brilliance and talent inspires both creativity and inspiration. When I hear great performers it makes me want to be play and perform. Krista is that magical rarity. I love her, she is going to be so big.

I'm lovin' this...it could've been my theme song ;~) Can't wait to hear Krista do Early Grave in concert when I can be in the audience ~ I've never heard this one! In the meantime, thank heaven for youtube!
