I came home the other night the door was open wide

And as a joke I thought I'd try to sneak inside

I heard a voice from the kitchen one I never heard before

Saying come my dear and go with me you don't need him anymore

I thought I'd die when I heard his voice so clear

I didn't know I could cry but I'm one big walking tear

And fear hung over me like a cloud when I heard him say out loud

Come my dear and go with me you don't need him anymore

A single thought ran through my head I'd rather see the stranger dead

Than to know that he could take my love away

I drew a pistol from the draw and I shot him to the floor

I heard her cry and then I heard her say

You just killed my brother Jim who begged me to go with him

Cause I told him of the troubles that we've had

And after all that we've been through I've said I still love you

And I told him all your good outweight the bad

I thought I'd die when I heard her voice so clear

I didn't know I could cry but I'm one big walking tear

Now fear hangs over me like a cloud as the warden says out loud

Come my son and go with me you don't live here anymore
