Oh Lord, oh Lord, what have I done
I've fallen in love with a man on the run
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, I'm beggin' you please
Don't take that sinner from me
Oh, don't take that sinner from me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, what do I do
I've fallen for someone who's nothin' like you
He was raised on the edge of The Devil's Backbone
I just want to take him home
Oh, I just want to take him home
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah
Oh Lord, oh Lord, he's somewhere between
A hangman's knot and three mouths to feed
There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose
He did what he had to do
Oh, he did what he had to do
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah
Give me the burden, give me the blame
I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame
Oh, give me the burden, give me the blame
How many, how many Hail Marys is this gonna take
Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not
He's good, and he's bad, and he's all that I've got
Oh Lord, oh Lord, I'm beggin' you please
Don't take that sinner from me
Oh, don't take that sinner from me
