lyrics

It made me shiver so I made up my mind to pray
Pray that I'd be better but the words wouldn't come my way
I kneeled down, I kneeled down to set myself to pray
Miss Watson forgive me
I kneeled down, I kneeled down but the words wouldn't come my way
My heart wasn't right
I wasn't square
I knew that I was playing double
I was letting on to be giving up sin
But inside was building up trouble
Well there ain't no use to try to hide it from him, or to hide it from me
I'd been letting on to giving up sin
But it's still deep inside me
Miss Watson forgive me
I was full of trouble, just as full as I could be
I'm gonna write a letter that'll wash my soul all clean of sin
And make it light as a feather
Then I lay that paper down and started thinking 'bout the river and the nighttime and moonlight and the storm
Then I lay that paper down he was my best friend in the world and he's the only one here now
So I look around
Miss Watson forgive me, I'm the dregs of the earth
I see that paper, hold it in my hand
Miss Watson forgive me
Alright then I will go to hell
Alright then I will go to hell
Alright then I will go to hell
Alright then I will go to hell
Miss Watson forgive me
