——— i went to to say goodbye
Took all his money and left him there to die
Don’t you bother follow me
They’ll hang you from a tree
Don’t know where I'm going to
I’m not the man you knew
But I know I won’t be back for you
I took his life and ran away
Now they wanna put me back in jail
They try to put me down and pray
Take the devil out of him they say
Lock him up and throw the keys away
Tell my kids and tell my wife
No need to cry go on and live your lives
If I ever turn around they’ll put me in the ground
No one’s gonna know my name
Or why I left that town
No one’s gonna miss me when I’m gone
I took his life and ran away
Now they wanna put me back in jail
They try to put me down and pray
Take the devil out of him they say
Lock him up and throw the keys away
I took his life and ran away
Now they wanna put me back in jail
They try to put me down and pray
Take the devil out of him they say
Lock him up and throw the keys away
