The preacher talked to me and he smiled, |
|
Said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more |
|
mile. |
|
Now for once in your life you're alone, |
|
but you ain't got a dime, |
|
there's no time for the phone." |
|
I've just got to get a message to you, |
|
hold on, hold on. |
|
One more hour and my life will be through, |
|
hold on, hold on. |
|
I told him I'm in no hurry, |
|
but if I broke her heart, |
|
won't you tell her I'm sorry. |
|
And for once in my life I'm alone, |
|
and I've got to let her know just in time before I |
|
go. |
|
I've just got to get a message to you, |
|
hold on, hold on. |
|
One more hour and my life will be through, |
|
hold on, hold on. |
|
Well I laughed but that didn't hurt, |
|
and it's only her love that keeps me wearing this |
|
dirt. |
|
Now I'm crying but deep down inside, |
|
well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die. |
