Lyrics

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 ..
