Lyrics:
As I walk side by side 
With the wicked and the righteous
I do wonder to which one of them 
I truly belong.
I have tread the narrow path
I have stumbled through the darkness.
And the right I’ve done by many
Is all for those that I’ve done wrong.
Paint my casket true black.And for all I might have cost you,
I hope to earn it back.
Shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah
Shoo-rye, shoo-rye shoo-rye
For all I may have cost you
I hope to make it right.
I have listened many a year
To the greatest ever known.
Speaking truth truer than
Any voices I have ever heard.
So child give me your ears
And between them I will sew
A crop of plenty that will fruit
With every stolen word.
Paint my casket true black.
And for all I may have taught you 
I know you’ve taught me back. 
shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah
Shoo-rye, shoo-rye shoo-rye
For all I may have cost you
I hope to make it right.
I have been deep into the cave
I have pulled out many a stone.
Common as John or shining bright
Mine to carry and mine to hold.
I have pulled out ragged people
That got too used being alone.
Shoulder to shoulder up to the light
And that’s where I found my gold.
Paint my casket true black
If you catch me too far from home
I hope you’ll bring me back. 
shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah
Shoo-rye, shoo-rye shoo-rye
For all I may have cost you
I hope to make it right.
As I walk side by side 
With the wicked and the righteous
I do wonder to which one of them 
I truly belong.
I have tread the narrow path
I have stumbled through the darkness.
And the right I’ve done by many
Is all for those that I’ve done wrong.
Paint my casket true black.And for all I might have cost you,
I hope to earn it back.
Shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah
Shoo-rye, shoo-rye shoo-rye
For all I may have cost you
I hope to make it right.
