lyrics

I was playing dice and eight-or-better stud
Came home without a dollar to my name
Home without a dollar to my name
Molly, she was hitting me, scratching at my face
Home without a dollar to my name

I shot that woman, I shot her in the heart
I can’t live the straight life anymore
I can’t live the straight life anymore
When I saw what I had done, with my Molly on the floor,
I knew I could not live the straight life anymore

If I don’t have my good gal to keep my blankets warm
I do not care if I live or die
I do not care if I live or die
But I can’t go back to prison, so like a mole I’ll hide
I do not care if I live or die

Got a friend in Omaha who’s got a place to stay
Soon enough I will be on my way
Soon enough I will be on my way
Children, always listen to what your mamas say
Soon enough I will be on my way
