Devil's Backbone
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done?I’ve fallen in love with a man on the runOh Lord, Oh Lord, I’m begging you pleaseDon’t take that sinner from meOh don’t take that sinner from me
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do?I’ve fallen for someone who’s nothing like youHe’s raised on the edge of the devil’s backboneOh I just wanna take him homeOh I just wanna take him home
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he’s somewhere betweenA hangman’s knot, and three mouths to feedThere wasn’t a wrong or a right he could chooseHe did what he had to doOh he did what he had to do
Give me the burden, give me the blameI’ll shoulder the load, and I’ll swallow the shameGive me the burden, give me the blameHow many, how many Hail Marys is it gonna take?
Don’t care if he’s guilty, don’t care if he’s notHe’s good and he’s bad and he’s all that I’ve gotOh Lord, Oh Lord, I’m begging you pleaseDon’t take that sinner from meOh don’t take that sinner from me
