I Could Have Gone Right Lyrics - Stonewall Jackson

I was born a good boy my folks just loved me so 

They gave me every chance they could to make my life a gold 

But I got in the wrong crowd and the wrong crowd led me on 

I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong 

I went to the places where sin just waits for you 

And I fell for the wrong things like sinners always do 

Now here I sit in prison just waiting for the day 

That they'll lead me throught that door and burn my life away 

Oh mama please forgive me the shame is all my own 

I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong 

[ piano ] 

Oh mama please forgive me...
