Crack a mean whip, carry a big gun Cast a long shadow till the day is done Do ninety miles an hour down the Devil's trail Done hard time in a hundred jails No one can forgive me but my baby No one can forgive me but my baby No one can forgive me but my baby Now Jesus don't know, Mary don't know Preacher don't know, Momma don't know Daddy don't know, my brother don't know St. John don't know, St. Peter don't know No one can forgive me but my baby I took a hundred dollars from a blind man's hand I slept with the whores on the burnin' sand Got twenty-seven children I've never seen Got blood on my hands that will never come clean I got long arms, tell big lies Stole the pennies from my dear mother's eyes I'm tall in the saddle, about six foot nine I beat up revenuers all the time No one can forgive me but my baby Oh, no one can forgive me but my baby I got a mean temper, I'm a big liar Broke all the laws, set the house on fire When I stand before Jesus and he asks me to kneel I'll tell him maybe we can make a deal No one can forgive me but my baby No one can forgive me but my baby I don't pay no bills, I don't say no prayers Give back nothin', and I take all dares Stole a car and I got me a gun If there ain't no road I'm gonna make me one Broke my baby's heart, and I whip my dog I don't say nothin' when I meet my God No one can forgive me but my baby No one can forgive me but my baby No one can forgive me but my baby No one can forgive me but my baby No one can forgive me but my baby Forgive me, baby
