I.
I was a burden, Lord
I was a burden
And she lifted me
Up over the gate.
She brought me water
She brought me water
And now I’m drownin’
In all my shame.
CHORUS
She was my angel
I was her devil
And now she’s gone
She’s gone away.
II.
This world’s a cold one
This world’s a cold one
Can’t find no shelter
Anywhere I go.
She told me so, Lord
She told me so
And now I’m crying
The rest of my days.
(Chorus)
III.
The river is high, Lord
The river is high
A cold wind blows
From across the plain.
She took me captive
She took me captive
I was her rebel
I could not wait.
(Chorus)
IV.
She healed my wounds, Lord
She healed my wounds
I was so hungry
I could not eat.
I made her sick, Lord
I made her sick
By putting my seed
Inside her warmth.
(Chorus)
V.
They’re coming to kill me
They’re coming to kill me
Oh what I done, Lord
I will not say.
I have regrets, Lord
I have regrets, Lord
I know that Heaven
Has passed me by.
(Chorus)
VI.
I should have saved her
I should have saved her
But I was afraid, Lord
I’m not a man.
And for my sins, Lord
And for my sins, Lord
I’m doomed to die
It’s what I deserve.
(Chorus)
