Devil's Backbone Lyrics - The Civil Wars

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done? 

I've fallen in love with a man on the run 

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please 

Don't take that sinner from me 

Oh don't take that sinner from me 

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do? 

I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you 

He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone 

Oh I just wanna take him home 

Oh I just wanna take him home 

Ooooooooooo 

Ooooooooooo 

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he's somewhere between 

A hangman's knot, and three mouths to feed 

There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose 

He did what he had to do 

Oh he did what he had to do 

Ooooooooooo 

Ooooooooooo 

Give me the burden, give me the blame 

I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame 

Give me the burden, give me the blame 

How many, how many Hail Marys is it gonna take?
