I Thought I`d Die — текст песни (David Houston)

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
