Her coal-black eyes and her heartbroke smile
Followed me down a crooked mile
Everybody says we ain't no good
We ain't going back even if we could

Back in the woods where the law don't go
Down in the holler where the wind don't blow
Gonna raise us a family make us a home
We'll be alright if they leave us alone

I ain't never had nothing
I ain't never had nothing to hold on to
I ain't even been living
I ain't even been living till I found you

She followed me down a crooked mile
She ain't got no spite, ain't got guile
She won't let me quit‚ won't let me run
Holding me tight‚ sleeping by her gun

I ain't never had nothing
I ain't never had nothing to hold on to
I ain't even been living
I ain't even been living till I found you

Her coal black eyes and her heartbroke smile
Followed me down a crooked mile
Everybody says we ain't no good
We ain't going back even if we could

I ain't never had nothing
I ain't never had nothing to hold on to
I ain't even been living
I ain't even been living till I found you

I ain't never had nothing
I ain't never had nothing till I found you
