Ahhh ... ahhh ...

Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ...





The heat of a summer day, poundin' down on my back,

Work like a dog in the sunlight, tryin' to pay the people back.

I killed a man in the spring time; had to work hard just to make a dime,

To buy my baby the things that she needs.

I guess i didn't think twice, and now i have to pay the price,

For killing a man of another creed.





Ahhh ... ahhh ...

Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ...





I guess i'll have to be strong, the rest of my life can't be too long.

I know i'll die some day, and be going far away,

And you won't remember the things that i've done.

I feel a shedding tear, it's only been a year,

But i know i'll be dead when the evening comes.





Ahhh ... ahhh ...

Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ...





I guess i'll have to be strong, the rest of my life can't be too long.





Ahhh ... ahhh ...

Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ...
