The key to the whole song is the last verse. It starts out so sweet with him promising his girl racetrack winnings ( if he wins ...subtle but definite flag ). Then the vivid chilling violent images unfurl for next couple verses. Finally finishing with " You Don't Know my Mind " but he adds " wretched " and emphasizes it. The singer reviles himself and knows how wrong he is just as much as the critics. It's a cry for help in a way . Great song.

thanks Kenny
reminds me of RL Burnside.
papa cringe I think he was Burnside's guitarist for awhile
Buddy Ollie . He Was!
@@buddyollie180he played with R.L. from the very early 70's on..pretty much learned from him.
RL referred to him as his adopted son.
It's an old blues song, Leadbelly was one of the first recording but yeah RL took Kenny under his wing.
🤣 to keep from 😭
This sounds a lot like Leadbelly's song. If this isn't a cover it's a very close variation! Still cool.
Joe Callicott?
I think Mr. Brown needs some sensitivity training ;)
