This Man Will be the Death of Me

Straight to the gallows, bound in chains

Heaven knows I lost my way

I gave my love to the devil's own kind

Sold my soul for a thief in the night

And I knew if I sailed on that sea

Laid with the devil, he would turn on me

But the day we wed, oh, I said

"This man will be the death of me"

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Will be the death of me

I said, "This man will be the death of me"

The death of me

Our love burned hot as the island sun

We were thick as thieves out on thе run

But his lust for blood surpassed his greed

He went off likе the gun he handed me

And I knew if I sailed on that sea

Laid with the devil, he would turn on me

But the walls ran red as I said

"This man will be the death of me"

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Will be the death of me

I said, "This man will be the death of me"

The death of me

Ooh

The death of me

Ooh

But I woke one day to an empty bed

And a pistol held against my head

I was silent as they read my crimes

'Cause if he's long gone

Guess who pays twice?

I'd said, "This man will be the death of me"

Will be the death of me

I said, "This man will be the death of me"

Oh, oh, oh oh

Will be the death of

I said, "This man will be the death of me"

The death of me
