Let him sit in the kitchen
'Til the red rooster crows
And drink bootleg whiskey
'Til he loses controlLet him find him somebody
He can treat like a dog
Let the house fall down
And let him grow oldBut she ain't goin' back
She ain't goin' back
She ain't goin' back to Danville
'Til she's deadHe got the whole town believin'
That she was to blame
It's half filled with people
With his last nameShe's heard that the devil
Lives way down below
But the devils little brother
Lives on old Danville roadBut she ain't goin' back
She ain't goin' back
She ain't goin' back to Danville
'Til she's deadNow her mommas tombstone
Sits high on a hill
She been gone seven years
She misses her stillBut one fine day
They'll be together again
She'll go back to Danville
If they'll let her inBut she ain't goin' back
She ain't goin' back
She ain't goin' back to Danville
'Til she's deadBut she ain't goin' back
She ain't goin' back
She ain't goin' back to Danville
'Til she's dead
