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
