Jonah Tolchin - Criminal Man lyrics

rate me

The lamp is burned low, at the brick house down the street,

At the very same place I got knocked off my feet,

A nickel a dime boys I got what you need,

I’m a criminal man, come from a criminal breed.

Ay-O, Ay-O, Ay-O, O, O, Ooo.

So many love’s I have lost throughout my whole life,

Well I try to make it better, but the scotch won’t suffice,

If a man of desire were a man of the times, then I’d be a few years back,

a few dollars behind.

Ay-O, Ay-O, Ay-O, O, O, Ooo.

Well this ain’t a sad song boy, this is my life,

And I live for the sin, the struggle, the strife,

I live to laugh, and I live to cry,

Well I live till I don’t, then I guess that I’ll die.
