Lyrics
0:00Oh Lord oh Lord what have I done
0:04I've fallen in love with a man on the run
0:08Oh Lord oh Lord I'm begging you please
0:12Don't take that sinner from me
0:16Oh don't take that sinner from me
0:21Oh Lord oh Lord what do I do
0:25I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you
0:29He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone
0:33Oh I just wanna take him home
0:37Oh I just wanna take him home
0:42Ooooooooooo
0:51Ooooooooooo
0:59Oh Lord oh Lord he's somewhere between
1:03A hangman's knot and three mouths to feed
1:07There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose
1:11He did what he had to do
1:15Oh he did what he had to do
1:20Ooooooooooo
1:28Ooooooooooo
1:37Give me the burden give me the blame
1:40I'll shoulder the load and I'll swallow the shame
1:45Give me the burden give me the blame
1:49How many how many Hail Marys is it gonna take
2:02Don't care if he's guilty don't care if he's not
2:06He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got
2:10Oh Lord oh Lord I'm begging you please
2:14Don't take that sinner from me
2:18Oh don't take that sinner from me
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 begging 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 nothing like you He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone Oh I just wanna take him home Oh I just wanna take him home Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo 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 Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Give me the burden give me the blame I'll shoulder the load and I'll swallow the shame Give me the burden give me the blame How many how many Hail Marys is it 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 begging you please Don't take that sinner from me Oh don't take that sinner from me
