歌词
[Verse 1]
Listen up, folks, to a story I'll tell
About a stream called Love Creek that leads straight down to hell
Sold to a lawman for the price of a head
A trade born from death and the breaking of bread
[Verse 2]
Men came from east, new faces each week
Seeking gold fortune alongside the old creek
No matter their health or the strength of their minds
Slowly but surely, each one of them died
[Chorus]
Down on Love Creek, no love to be found
[Verse 3]
Some blamed the bad water, some blamed lack of sun
But the death and the mold settled deep in their lungs
It riddled their bodies and poisoned their brains
The curse of those banks still cannot be explained
[Verse 4]
Many years later, there in '82
Where the rain, it came down like a godly monsoon
The mountain gave way to a terrible slide
Men, women, and children lay buried alive
[Chorus]
Down on Love Creek, no love to be found
Down on Love Creek, no love to be found
[Verse 5]
Down the old road was a general store
When the town heard the news, it caused a mighty uproar
A big, brawny man who was in their employ
Slayed a young girl while she carried their boy
[Verse 6]
Whistling Bill was the name that he had
He'd smile and he'd sweep, and pat kids on the head
Nobody knew of his murderous side
It was too late and the creek took his mind
[Chorus]
Down on Love creek, no love to be found
[Verse 7]
Her body was found by a man walking by
Both her and the child faced a grizzly demise
Justice was served, and they locked him away
Her cries are still heard by the creekside today
[Verse 8]
The water that runs through this bed to this day
It's frigid and dark and chalk-full of decay
It once held the promise of fortune and gold
Love Creek took it back, and her wrath still unfolds
[Outro]
Down on Love Creek, no love to be found
Oh, down on Love Creek, no love to be found
Oh, down on Love Creek, no love to be found
Oh, down on Love Creek, no love to be found
