INTRO GGDG
We were married in the spring, she didn’t want for anything
A lovin’ husband, a little cabin, close to town
Workin’ hard out on the farm, comin’ in to all her charm
Until one day, when the stranger came around
It starts to rain can’t work no more, run to the porch open the door
To their surprise I realize their little game
So what was I supposed to do, oh I could tell he’d been with you
It made me mad and I just couldn’t stand the pain
Chorus:
I can’t believe what I have done, I killed them both with daddy’s gun
As their bodies lay entangled in our bed
He was the sheriffs only son, to me she was the only one
I smelled the perfume, the powder and the lead
Well my body starts to shake, begin to think about my fate
As I turn and start to stagger toward the door
I heard her take her final breath, I knew my sentence would be death
And so I threw that smokin’ gun onto the floor
Now I sit here in this jail, and now my life’s a livin hell
Since that awful dreadful crime I had to do
All her love she vowed to me, another man there’d never be
And in the end I’ll have to die for loving you
Chorus:
I can’t believe what I have done
