Lyrics High Sheriff of Calhoun Parrish (Live) - Tony Joe White
It
was
said
of
the
sheriff
to
Calhoun
Parish
Not
to
ever
touch
his
daughter
Emily
For
to
look
at
her
with
lustful
eyes
was
certain
To
get
you
a
time
in
the
penitentiary
It
was
true,
she
was
quite
voluptuous
And
it
was
true,
she
had
eyes
for
me
Then
one
night
at
a
dance
she
walked
up
to
me
And
ask
me
would
I
meet
her
down
by
the
creek
As
I
listened
to
her
dangerous
proposal
I
thought
about
the
high
sheriff
catching
me
As
I
shook
my
head
and
quietly
left
the
party
I
heard
her
laugh
and
say,
"You′ll
be
sorry"
Then
there
came
upon
my
door
a
loud
disturbance
I
opened
it
to
the
sheriff
and
his
deputy
He
said,
"Son,
did
you
molest
my
daughter?"
I
said,
"Sheriff,
I
do
not
know
of
what
you
speak"
Then
he
grabbed
me
roughly
by
the
collar
And
he
flung
me
sprawling
out
into
the
street
There
were
days
in
the
jail
with
claustrophobia
And
all
on
account
of
that
wench
Emily
Well,
I
finally
worked
a
bar
loose
from
the
window
And
made
my
way
into
the
woods
of
Calhoun
Late
that
night
I
came
upon
a
cabin
It
was
the
home
of
Harham
Cross,
a
friend
I
knew
Would
you
all
mind
if
I
sat
down
at
your
table
'Cause
it′s
been
a
while
since
I've
had
time
to
eat
And
I'll
pay
y′all
back
when
I′m
able
But
right
now
the
high
sheriff
is
after
me
You
see
Ooh
