I’ve fallen in love with a man on the run.

 

Devil's Backbone" by The Civil Wars

 

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done?

I've fallen in love with a man on the run

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please

Don't take that sinner from me

Oh don't take that sinner from me

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do?

I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you

He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone

Oh I just wanna take him home

Oh I just wanna take him home

Ooooooooooo

Ooooooooooo

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he's somewhere between

A hangman's knot, and three mouths to feed

There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose

He did what he had to do

Oh he did what he had to do

Ooooooooooo

Ooooooooooo

Give me the burden, give me the blame

I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame

Give me the burden, give me the blame

How many, how many Hail Marys is it gonna take?

Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not

He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please

Don't take that sinner from me

Oh don't take that sinner from me
