Lyrics

PLEASE FORGIVE ME, DARLIN'

VERSE 1
(B B A)
He was a
drunkard and a scoundrel, a bum 'til his dying day
When he lay there on his deathbed, these word he did say
He said now,

"Please forgive me darlin' but I've go to say adieu
Sorry for all those things, that I did to you
Maybe I failed once or twice trying to be true
But darlin' I'm still in love with you"

VERSE 2
She was the
mother of his children, she worked both nights and days
And she held that house together in oh-so-many ways
She said now,
"Please forgive me darling, but you're a lazy slob
Wouldn't be quite so poor, if you could hold a job
Said that you're sorry, so many times before
This time drag your ass right out the door"

BRIDGE (descending inversions)

VERSE 3
He was a
Lazy, lousy loafer, never worked a day
with a thousand lame excuses, these words he did say
He said now,
"Please forgive me darlin' you knew when we got hitched
All I owned was on my back, each and every stitch
You said that you'd take me, whether poor or rich
Even now, I'm face down in a ditch"
He said now
"Please forgive me darling, but I've got to say goodbye
I don't want to leave you -- you know the reason why
I'd get down on my knees and ask for one more try
But you shot me and now I'm gonna die"

VERSE 4
She was the
best thing that would happen to that wretched guy
And one day she'd had enough and one too many lies
She said now
"Please forgive me darling, but I've just run out of gas
Cuz when you ain't drinking, you're smokin' all my grass
Loaded up the twelve gauge and shot you in the ass
You ain't gonna die, you're only gonna run
Cuz, it was only rock salt in the gun"
It was only rock salt in the gun"
