palm muted
[Verse 1]
Am C G C Am
He went down to Watertown expecting all his sin to be washed clean
Am C G C Am
He killed a man in Birmingham and he jumped the first train south to New Orleans
Am C G C Am
With a C note from a dead man's coat, pearl handle pistol, smokin’…still
Am C G C Am
He saw a shadow cross his path and in its wake, he felt a dead man's chill
Am C G Am
Down by the Mississippi the train stops on a dime. Harmonics 12fret w/bend on guitar neck
Am C G C Am
and into that muddy river he threw his gun as though it might free him from his crime
[Verse 2]
Am C G C Am
In the absinth bar on Bourbon Street he heard a foreign voice call his name
Am C G C Am
He said son I see your weary eyes and it looks to me that you're running from your shame
[Chorus]
Am C G C Am
Don’t go down to Watertown expecting all your sin to be washed clean.

[Verse 3]
Am C G C Am
Well he said I have a plan that might just set your conscience free
Am C G C Am
There's a preacher man with a withered hand in a little town in northern Tennessee
Am C G C Am
And for a tender price he'll roll the dice and if it comes up seven you're gonna win
Am C G C Am
Yeah, but if that man rolls snake eyes my friend you'll pay double for your sin
[Verse 4]
Am C G C Am
Well he saddled up his stolen horse and rode North in the night
Am C G C Am
Yeah and come to second sun up a little town was just within his sight
Am C G C Am
He was sitting by the river, twisted like a snake
Am C G C Am
And little did he know that river was soon to be his… graaaave
[Chorus]
Am C G C Am
So don't go down to Watertown expecting all your sins to be washed clean
[Solo 2]
Am C G C B Am x4
[Verse 5]
Am C G C Am
Well he rode on into town and all the people stood and stared
Am C G C Am
he started feeling nervous, he started getting scared
Am C G C Am
He turned a dusty corner he tried to hide but he found a lynch mob waiting there
Am C G C Am
Well they grabbed him quick and grabbed him hard and drug him right off that stolen mare
[Verse 6]
Am C G C Am
Well then, the withered handed preacher man pushed his way through the crowd
Am C G C Am
He looked down at the stranger on the ground held his gut and laughed out loud
Am C G C Am
I see you met my brother down in Nawlins’ and took his word for true
Am C G C Am
Well the man you killed in Birmingham if you don't know was the father to us two
[Chorus]
Am C G C Am
Don't go down to Watertown expecting all your sin to be washed clean
[Solo 3]
Am C G C B Am x8
[Verse 7]
Am C G C Am
They strapped two mighty boulders upon his broken knees
Am C G C Am
They laughed and kicked and spit on him despite him cryin’ and screaming please
Am C G C Am
It took 12 men, 3 on each limb to drag him to the river and throw him in
Am C G C Am
He never had a prayer as the water baptized and drowned him with His… sin!
[Outro]
Am C G C Am
Don't go down to Watertown expecting all your sin to be washed clean
Am C G C Am
Don't go down to Watertown expecting all your sin to be washed clean

Young man you're bound to drown in Watertown
Am G Am
Young man you're bound to drown in Watertown fini
