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
