INTRO We were married in the spring, she didn't want for anything A lovin' husband, a little cabin, close to town Workin' hard out on the farm, comin' in to all her charm Until one day, when the stranger came around It starts to rain can't work no more, run to the porch open the door To their surprise I realize their little game So what was I supposed to do, oh I could tell he'd been with you It made me mad and I just couldn't stand the pain I can't believe what I have done, I killed them both with daddy's gun As their bodies lay entangled in our bed He was the sheriffs only son, to me she was the only one I smelled the perfume, the powder and the lead Well my body starts to shake, begin to think about my fate As I turn and start to stagger toward the door I heard her take her final breath, I knew my sentence would be death And so I threw that smokin' gun onto the floor Now I sit here in this jail, and now my life's a livin hell Since that awful dreadful crime I had to do All her love she vowed to me, another man there'd never be And in the end I'll have to die for loving you Chorus:
