Frank Black My Terrible Ways Lyrics

My Terrible Ways Lyrics

My terrible ways, they got me in jail

Where some did succeed, I always did fail

But I thought, I was fine to wait for the day

When I'd paid for my terrible ways



My terrible ways, they came to an end

When a mighty deluge freed the criminal men

But I stayed in Mississippi and three souls I saved

And so ended my terrible ways



Terrible ways, terrible ways

Sooner or later a criminal pays

And I'll never have enough, enough

To pay this off



Terrible ways, terrible ways

Sooner or later a criminal pays

And I'll never have enough, enough

To pay this off



My terrible ways, the governor forgave

On account of three souls and account of the wave

That took my wife and baby and swept them away

All '€˜cause of my terrible ways



Terrible ways, terrible ways

Sooner or later I know I'm going to pay

And I'll never have enough, enough

To pay this off
