lyrics

oh my, my lord
oh my lord don’t you try and take me yet
‘cause i’ve tried, tried hard
i’ve tried hard but you know i can’t forget
‘cause he walks, walks free
he walks free through the streets of this old town
and if you know, know all
if you know all you know he took my baby down

goin down to the cemetery
gonna dig myself a hole
deep enough to bury a man without a soul
gonna fill that hole by midnight
and i’m guessing that you know
in an alley without streets with this burning 44

i’m gonna look him in the eye
i’m gonna take away his sunrise
i’m gonna strip him of his pride
just like he did mine

oh my, my lord
well oh my lord don’t you try and take me yet
‘cause i’ve tried, tried hard
well i’ve tried hard but you know i can’t forget

i’m gonna look him in the eye
i’m gonna take away his sunrise
i’m gonna strip him of his pride
just like he did mine

he walks, walks free
he walks free through the streets
of this old town
