Ahhh ... ahhh ...

Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ...





The heat of a summer day, poundin down on my back,

Work like a dog in the sunlight, tryin to pay the people back.

I killed a man in the spring time; had to work hard just to make a dime,

To buy my baby the things that she needs.

I guess I didnt think twice, and now I have to pay the price,

For killing a man of another creed.





Ahhh ... ahhh ...

Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ...





I guess Ill have to be strong, the rest of my life cant be too long.

I know Ill die some day, and be going far away,

And you wont remember the things that Ive done.

I feel a shedding tear, its only been a year,

But I know Ill be dead when the evening comes.





Ahhh ... ahhh ...

Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ...





I guess Ill have to be strong, the rest of my life cant be too long.





Ahhh ... ahhh ...

Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ...
