Take My Soul

[00:14.19] Lordy please have mercy
[00:16.60] I know that I've done wrong
[00:19.23] These chains around my ankles
[00:21.76] Cut my skin right from my bones
[00:24.76] Blood and sweat is flowing
[00:27.09] From my poor old aching back
[00:30.22] Boss whip a-cracking
[00:32.18] While I swing this old pickaxe
[00:35.58] Can you please forgive me?
[00:38.06] Lordy won't you take this poor boy home?
[00:44.10]
[00:52.13] Let me tell you of my tale
[00:54.93] I was drunk and out of mind
[00:57.84] Fought a man about a woman
[01:00.57] That's when I took his life
[01:03.35] The mob was there to string me
[01:06.19] From a hanging tree
[01:08.78] Sheriff Well he locked me up
[01:11.33] And threw away the key
[01:14.06] I wish that I could take back
[01:17.50] Everything that I've done wrong
[01:22.52]
[01:24.57] I spend my dying days
[01:27.38] Spend my dying days where I belong
[01:35.21] I live my dying days
[01:38.17] Singing the same old song
[01:42.10] Take my soul
[01:47.55] Take my soul
[01:52.54] Take my soul
[01:58.15] Take my soul
[02:03.07]
[03:16.07] Twenty years have passed me
[03:18.47] My skin is parched and dry
[03:21.14] Inside these high forbidden walls
[03:24.17] Living 'til I die
[03:26.47] These hands are scarred and blistered
[03:29.18] My body old and gray
[03:31.83] Each night I get down on my knees
[03:34.83] Hang my head and pray
[03:37.58] Can you please forgive me?
[03:39.86] Lordy won't you take this poor boy home?
[03:47.92] I spend my dying days
[03:50.57] Spend my dying days where I belong
[03:58.52] I live my dying days
[04:01.46] Singing the same old song
[04:05.40] Take my soul
[04:07.77] Take my soul
[04:13.53] Take my soul
[04:18.87] Take my soul
[05:11.77]
