Shakey Graves only son

I used to be an only son
My heart was but a stranger
It wallowed in the races won
and craved impending dangers.
When it settled on,
and pined and pondered

Oh he has a loaded gun!
And how, above the weather?
And it will always let me forget her
And this sturdy wood will burn forever,
in us together.

Yeah my heart was but a?????
Oh, but he has a loaded gun.

Oh its evil ways,

And this sturdy wood will burn forever,
in us together.
