I'm broken hearted, I'm a broken man Driven by anger, on that night I ran I had me a woman, I thought that she'd be true Now she's gone and left me You know her life is through CHORUS Lonely weekends, baby lonely nights The judge he gave me ninety nine to life I wish she could be here Lord if she only could Instead she's layin' in a puddle of blood She was my baby, thought she'd be my wife I killed my wife, I killed her with my knife CHORUS So alone I'm sittin' in my prison cell Lord only knows now, I'm in a living hell The rest of my life in this penitentiary The good Lord above now, please have mercy on me CHORUS
