Ill Will Creek
[Verse 1]
When the sun goes down and the holler turns to black
See the water boil, hear the mountains laugh
There's a place where Earth and the underworld do meet
Find whatever you seek at the head of Ill Will Creek
[Verse 2]
Well the hills have eyes and the trees have listenin' ears
Willows hang low like a curtain hides your fears
Smoother than glass hopefully you can see the [?]
You keep your body and he keeps your soul
[Chorus]
Don't go floatin' down old Ill Will
The price you pay is the soul you spill
You won't leave 'til you make a dеal
Son don't you know there's a devil in thеse hills
[Verse 3]
Many a young man lost beneath this ridge
But the siren's song is one a man can't resist
You can fight and claw to keep your earthly ways
But struggle in vain you'll drown all the same
[Chorus]
Don't go floatin' down old Ill Will
The price you pay is the soul you spill
No one leaves 'til they make a deal
Son don't you know there's a devil in these hills
[Bridge]
Well you know what they say about legends and verse
You can't put much stock in mortal man's words
[Chorus]
Don't go floatin' down old Ill Will
The price you pay is the soul you spill
You won't leave 'til you make a deal
Son don't you know there's a devil in these hills
