Oxford Ms

Forgive me, forgive me

Lord for what I've done

Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi

Gonna leave another fatherless son

I'm an honest man

I know where I stand

Money's been my downfall

I'd gamble away

A week's worth of pay

If I had a lousy dime at all

But there ain't a bet

I ain't settled yet

Had to beg, borrow, steal

I'd never shied away

If there's a price to pay

Never been forced to kill

Forgive me, forgive me

Lord for what I've done

Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi

Gonna leave another fatherless son

Forgive me, forgive me

Lord for what I've done

Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi

Gonna leave another fatherless son

Down in the den

I was ownin' ten

Tryin' to make 21

Called it twice

And right before my eyes

Every penny that I had was gone

The man came around

He put his money down

So boys spends with me

Pats my back

Says I like you jack

But ain't nothin' in the world for free

Forgive me, forgive me

Lord for what I've done

Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi

Gonna leave another fatherless son

Forgive me, forgive me

Lord for what I've done

Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi

Gonna leave another fatherless son

So there's a man in town

When ya cut him down

You won't owe me no more

So I took the gun

When the deed was done

Dropped down to the floor

Forgive me, forgive me

Lord for what I've done

Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi

Gonna leave another fatherless son

Forgive me, forgive me

Lord for what I've done

Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi

Gonna leave another fatherless son

Forgive me, forgive me

Lord for what I've done

Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi

Gonna leave another fatherless son

Forgive me, forgive me

Lord for what I've done

Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi

Gonna leave another fatherless son
