Jerry McPherson - Devil's Backbone lyrics

[Verse 1: Joy Williams] O Lord, O Lord, what have I done? I've fallen in love with a man on the run O Lord, O Lord, I'm begging you, please Don't take that sinner from me Oh, don't take that sinner from me [Verse 2: Joy Williams & John Paul White] O Lord, O Lord, what do I do I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone Oh, I just wanna take him home Oh, I just wanna take him home [Verse 3: Joy Williams & John Paul White] O Lord, O Lord, he's somewhere between A hangman's knot and three mouths to feed There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose He did what he had to do Oh, he did what he had to do [Verse 4: Joy Williams with John Paul White] Give me the burden, give me the blame I'll shoulder the load and I'll swallow the shame Give me the burden, give me the blame How many, how many Hail Mary's is it gonna take? [Verse 5: Joy Williams with John Paul White] Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got O Lord, O Lord, I'm begging you, please Don't take that sinner from me Oh, don't take that sinner from me
