C                   F      C 
As he lay dying, he said I hate you
      C         G     
And I hope your soul goes straight to hell
                  C               F        C
If you think it's justice, you'll hang for murder
        G                  C 
To what degree, I'll never tell



                  C         F       C
Need water for my horses is all I'm asking
                 G 
You can tell the law, which way I go
          C           F    C
All of my dreams, are only wind songs
            G                 C
Through the trees that seldom 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
