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
Chorus:
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 grow
I don't mind dying
Lord I had my livin' and I played it straight, when I knew the rules
She said she loved me and I believed her
Now I'm on the run, the original fool
Chorus
If you see Jesus, tell him I'm sorry
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
