The dead man came calling

My name and in need

Said "Betty, you're my girl

The strongest I've seen"



But oh my heart

Is heading to break

They say God forgives

But I can't learn the same



Said Betty she's fine

And Betty she's torn

And Betty makes love

Like woman at all



But oh my heart

Is heading to break

They say God forgives

But I can't learn the same



So I gave him my time

And I gave him my peace

And I gave him my heart

Gave it to keep



But oh my eyes

Making fools out of me

They say love is blindness (They say God forgives)

I could no longer see (But I can't learn the same)



Now I've no more to give

And I've no more to say

And the stars shine less bright now

Over this dead man's bay



But oh my heart

Is heading to break

They say God forgives

Is this love in the grave?

They say God forgives

Is this love in the grave?
