| I know you’ll excuse me if I say goodnight
|
| I’ve got a promise to fulfill
|
| Thank you for listening to my troubles
|
| Pardon me, I’ve got someone to kill
|
| I warned him not to try and take her from me
|
| He laughed and said if I can you know I will
|
| So tonight when they get home I’ll be waiting
|
| Pardon me, I’ve got someone to kill
|
| I know I’ll surely die for what I’m about to do
|
| But it don’t matter I’m a dead man anyhow
|
| This gun will buy back the pride they took from me
|
| And also end this life of mine, that’s worthless now
|
| By the time you tell the sheriff, it’ll all be over
|
| He’ll find me at their big house on the hill
|
| He’ll find a note explaining why I killed us all
|
| Now it’s time to go, I’ve got someone to kill |
