John Hammond - No One Can Forgive Me But My Baby lyrics

rate me

Crack a mean whip, carry a big gun

Cast a long shadow till the day is done

Do ninety miles an hour down the Devil's trail

Done hard time in a hundred jails

No one can forgive me but my baby x3

Now Jesus don't know, Mary don't know

Preacher don't know, Momma don't know

Daddy don't know, my brother don't know

St. John don't know, St. Peter don't know

No one can forgive me but my baby

I took a hundred dollars from a blind man's hand

I slept with the whores on the burnin' sand

Got twenty-seven children I've never seen

Got blood on my hands that will never come clean

I got long arms, tell big lies

Stole the pennies from my dear mother's eyes

I'm tall in the saddle, about six foot nine

I beat up revenuers all the time

No one can forgive me but my baby

Oh, no one can forgive me but my baby

I got a mean temper, I'm a big liar

Broke all the laws, set the house on fire

When I stand before Jesus and he asks me to kneel

I'll tell him maybe we can make a deal

No one can forgive me but my baby x2

I don't pay no bills, I don't say no prayers

Give back nothin', and I take all dares

Stole a car and I got me a gun

If there ain't no road I'm gonna make me one

Broke my baby's heart, and I whip my dog

I don't say nothin' when I meet my God

No one can forgive me but my baby x2

No one can forgive me but my baby x3

Forgive me, baby
