Lyrics
Well, I've often heard it said that you're better poor than dead But I don't know if I believe that anymore And, I ain't never showed no one the darkness in my soul But I'm just so tired of feeling small and poor So, Mother, oh Mother, please forgive the deeds I've done For I robbed a bank and then brother did I fly And I killed a man then I headed out on the run But I swear I never meant for him to die I took off on the run from the awful thing I'd done But I didn't run too fast nor get too far They caught me later on next day, hiding out amongst the hay In the loft in my lover's daddy's barn And it's lover, oh lover It's no, nay, nevermore on your lilly-white breast I will lay my weary head And lover, though I've loved you for ten long years or more In the morning light they're gonna hang me 'til I'm dead Well, they drug me into town And all the people milling 'round hollered "hang him from his neck until he dies!" But out amongst the sea of hate, I saw my darling lover's face With a single tear just a'falling from her eye So, Father, oh Father, please hear the words I say Though I don't deserve forgiveness anymore And Father, oh Father, please hear the words I pray For I'm coming home to darken your pearly door
