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

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

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
