|
Crack a mean whip, carry a big gun |
|
Cast a long shadow till the day is done |
|
Do ninety miles an hour down the Devil's trail |
|
Done hard time in a hundred jails |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
Now Jesus don't know, Mary don't know |
|
Preacher don't know, Momma don't know |
|
Daddy don't know, my brother don't know |
|
St. John don't know, St. Peter don't know |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
I took a hundred dollars from a blind man's hand |
|
I slept with the whores on the burnin' sand |
|
Got twenty-seven children I've never seen |
|
Got blood on my hands that will never come clean |
|
I got long arms, tell big lies |
|
Stole the pennies from my dear mother's eyes |
|
I'm tall in the saddle, about six foot nine |
|
I beat up revenuers all the time |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
Oh, no one can forgive me but my baby |
|
I got a mean temper, I'm a big liar |
|
Broke all the laws, set the house on fire |
|
When I stand before Jesus and he asks me to kneel |
|
I'll tell him maybe we can make a deal |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
I don't pay no bills, I don't say no prayers |
|
Give back nothin', and I take all dares |
|
Stole a car and I got me a gun |
|
If there ain't no road I'm gonna make me one |
|
Broke my baby's heart, and I whip my dog |
|
I don't say nothin' when I meet my God |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
No one can forgive me but my baby |
|
Forgive me, baby |
