Johnny Cash Kate Lyrics

Kate Lyrics

Well, I saw you with another

It made me lose my mind

Shot you with my .38 and now I'm doin' time

And you put me here, you put me here



Well there's no way to doubt

There ain't no two ways about it

As sure as your name's Kate

You put me here



I've been tryin' to tell 'em

That I didn't do no wrong

Only gave you what you been

Deservin' all along

And you put me here, you put me here



There ain't no use denyin'

You done it with your lyin'

As sure as your name's Kate

You put me here



Well the jury found me guilty

They wouldn't hear my plea

I listened as that judge said

Murder in the first degree

And you put me here, you put me here



Well, there ain't no need to doubt

There ain't no two ways about it

As sure as your name's Kate

You put me here



Now the warden and the preacher

They're lettin' me go slow

It won't be long until I'm gone

Just thirteen steps to go

And you put me here, you put me here



There's just one way to figure

Your cheatin' pulled the trigger

As sure as your name's Kate

You put me here



Well, there ain't no need to doubt

There ain't no two ways about it

As sure as your name's Kate

You put me here



Kate, you just plain bad, you know that
