I ought to opt outta the deal
But how can I back down just now cause I feel
The sting of conscious at dawn
The warning of hell whisper all the night long
Been out of work for so long
My children are hungry, my wife three years gone
Now every last penny is spent
I'm forced to do wrong just to cover the rent
And I dreamed last night of sweet Lorraine
On our wedding day
And she fixed her gaze on my tearstained faced
And voiced her final plea
Honey, please don't do this thing
But if ever blood was justly spilled
It'd belong to the man who I'm hired to kill
A wicked life, crooked and bent
Crippled in darkness and stumbling yet
Bourbon bent, a quarter to four
He broke down the door in the early morn
Raving mad, God knows what for
He struck down his wife and poor child to the floor
And I dreamed last night of sweet Lorraine
On our wedding day
And she fixed her gaze on my tearstained faced
And voiced her final plea
Honey, please don't do this thing
Now the time has come, I must make a choice
But which is the best for my two girls and boy
This weight's enough to tear me in two
Sweet Jesus, please, tell me what I should do
I pace these floors where my children have played
I see three poor orphans and know I can't stay
But the image shifts to murdering thieves
And I know just as well that I cannot leave
And I dreamed last night of sweet Lorraine
On our wedding day
And she fixed her gaze on my tearstained face
And begged me, baby please
If you do this thing, you'll be lost from me
Never to be freed
For you know too well what Heaven forbids
Only fools can be redeemed
Honey, please don't do this thing
Honey, please don't do this thing
Honey, please don't do this thing
