Lyrics

[00:00.000] Oh Lord, oh Lord, what have I done
[00:04.630] I've fallen in love with a man on the run
[00:08.500] Oh Lord, oh Lord, I'm begging you please
[00:12.450] Don't take that sinner from me
[00:16.500] Oh, don't take that sinner from me
[00:21.300] Oh Lord, oh Lord, what do I do
[00:25.400] I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you
[00:29.400] He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone
[00:33.600] Oh I just wanna take him home
[00:37.080] Oh I just wanna take him home
[00:42.710]
[00:59.210] Oh Lord, oh Lord, he's somewhere between
[01:03.900] A hangman's knot, and three mouths to feed
[01:07.950] There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose
[01:11.870] He did what he had to do
[01:15.330] Oh, he did what he had to do
[01:19.450]
[01:36.690] Give me the burden, give me the blame
[01:41.300] I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame
[01:45.390] Give me the burden, give me the blame
[01:49.550] How many, how many Hail Marys is it gonna take
[01:55.610]
[02:02.200] Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not
[02:06.350] He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got
[02:10.850] Oh Lord, oh Lord, I'm begging you please
[02:14.940] Don't take that sinner from me
[02:18.610] Oh, don't take that sinner from me
[02:24.610]
