[C]As he lay dying, he [F]said I [C]hate you
And I [C]hope your [G]soul goes straight to hell
If you think it's [C]justice, you'll [F]hang for [C]murder
To what [G]degree, I'll never [C]tell
Need water for my [C]horses is [F]all I'm [C]asking
You can tell the [G]law, which way I go
All of my [C]dreams, are [F]only [C]wind songs
Through the [G]trees that seldom [C]blow
Well I don't mind dying
Had my share of living, and I played it straight, when I knew the rules
he said he loved me, and I believed him
Now I'm all alone, the original fool
Chorus
If you see Jesus, tell him I'm sorry
For I did not know what I had done
Like a dirty dog, I was drunk on whiskey
And I killed a man, just to have a little fun
Chorus
