That old Turpentine Trail 
Runs along the southern ridge 
Passing by the piney wood 
And swings down to Owl Creek Bridge 

Where stood a man
Whose hands were bound
Around his neck, a tether 
The water below, he prayed 
Would forgive those 
Who fell from Owl Creek Bridge

Onto piney wood he cast his sight
Longed to walk beyond it 
Escaping it seemed 
All but a dream he thought 

For on the northern shore
A thousand troops 
With rifles towards the sunrise
The sergeant marked the end
Lieutenants took his ground
He dropped from Owl Creek Bridge 

As he fell through the bridge 
He was swept into a dream
A thousand statues stood 
Whose eyes were fixed 
Upon the man with hands bound
Who fell from Owl Creek Bridge

Oh, great fire wrapped around his throat 
Choking him as the rope it took hold
He was taken by pain 
Taking every inch 
As he hung from Owl Creek Bridge

All at once, the rope gave in 
And to the depths he was taken
Hope in his mind
Spared from being hanged
But to be drowned
Was too much to take in

Break those bounds man 
That bind your wrists 
But mind a thousand rifles 
Cause they're waiting on the surface 
And set your sights 
On that Southern Ridge 
Far from Owl Creek Bridge
