Sunrise tomorrow
Momas gonna kneel and pray
I done worn out my welcome
The judge says I'm guilty
And now I gotta pay
Been called a bad man for some of the things I've done
The sins of my father
Made me a man who's time has done
Lord God save my soul
Have mercy on a poor boy like me
Only you can save me from the hanging tree
Daddy left my momma with 7 hungry mouths to feed
So I took from a rich man with a gun in my hand
It didn't seem wrong to me
Lord God save my soul
Have mercy on a poor boy like me
Only you can save me from the hanging tree
Oh lord have mercy
Oh won't ya save me
Won't ya save me
Lord God save my soul
Save my soul
Have mercy on a poor boy like me
Only you can save me
Only you
From the hanging
Have mercy
From the hanging
Save me
From the hanging
Sunrise tomorrow
