CIVIL WARS
- Barton Hollow Lyrics / with translationsI'm a dead man walking here
But that's the least of all my fears
Ooh, underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Please forgive me father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that un marked hundred grand?
Ooh, underneath the water
Please forgive me father
Miles and miles in my bare feet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul won't take
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
But that's the least of all my fears
Ooh, underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Please forgive me father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that un marked hundred grand?
Ooh, underneath the water
Please forgive me father
Miles and miles in my bare feet
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul won't take
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul

When we try to interpret the meaning, in 'Barton Hollow,' the Civil Wars present a character feeling like a living corpse, suffering from their past and searching for pardon. The mention of Barton Hollow represents a person’s inner world of sin and despair which he is trying to leave; the river is a metaphor for his unsuccessful purification of sins. Barton Hollow lyrics cater mainly to the wide spectrum of human emotions, such as angst, despair, reflection, heartbreak, and solitude. As a result, the song not only points out the necessity of guilt and redemption, but also the expressing and desperation of struggle and the inevitability of fate. The lyrics exhibit, among other things, death, fear, and a battle with one’s conscience, which may not be appropriate for very young children (under 13). Meanwhile, the allusion to a 'dead man walking' and the reference to 'the devil' clearly imply darker subjects that give reason to be cautious with younger audiences.
