Devil's Backbone |
| 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 |
