Tony Joe White - High Sheriff of Calhoun Parrish (studio version) [Intro] It was said of the sheriff of Calhoun Parrish Not to ever touch his daughter Anna Lee For to look at her with lustful eyes was certain To get you time in the penitentiary. It was true she was quite voluptuous It was true she had eyes for me; Then one night at a dance she walked up to me And asked 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 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 flung me sprawling out into the street; There were days in the jail with claustrophobia And all on account of that wench Anna Lee Well I finally worked a bar loose from the window And I made my way into the woods of Calhoun Late that night I came upon the cabin; It was the home of Harham Cross a friend I knew. Would you 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.

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un jeune homme qui est attiré par la belle fille d'un shérif redouté de Calhoun Parrish. On lui a toujours dit de ne jamais la regarder de manière inappropriée, au risque de subir les foudres du shérif. Lors d'une danse, Anna Lee l'approche avec une proposition audacieuse, l'incitant à la rejoindre près d'un ruisseau. Malgré l'excitation de la situation, il décide de s'éloigner, craignant les conséquences. Cependant, cette décision ne l'empêche pas de se retrouver accusé par le shérif, ce qui le conduit à une série de mésaventures et à l'incarcération. Finalement, il parvient à s'échapper et se réfugie chez un ami, sachant que le shérif est toujours à sa recherche. Cette histoire met en lumière les thèmes de la passion, du danger et de l'autorité à travers une trame qui mélange tension et drame.
