Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh me
Oh my
You led me to the wrong
[Verse 2]
Some people born with silver and gold
Others have husbands and wives
I never had a thing in this whole wide wicked world
And now, I'm losing my life
And now, I'm losing my life
[Verse 3]
You promised me that we would be wed
On this I'd laid my money down
You were seen courtin' my best friend
You caused me to shoot him down
You caused me to shoot him down
[Verse 4]
The love of a woman is bitter, but it's sweet
Even though she turns him down
The price I have to pay may come to you some day
And you'll in the sea of sorrow drown
And you'll in the sea of sorrow drown
[Verse 5]
Well, they say I have a right to my very last few words
Before they let the scaffold down
A man has to fight for what he thinks is right
Even if it puts him in the ground
Even if it puts him in the ground
[Verse 6]
Oh me
Oh my
You led me to the wrong
