Under The Live Oak

Left a note there on the counter Says he's never coming home Diagnosing all the wrongs he'd done And every debt he owes And every debt he owes See my husband was a gambling man And the dice they were his art But the biggest bet he ever played Was to break a woman's heart Was to break a woman's heart Lord will you forgive me When I just won't let that man get away I left him underneath the live oak tree just a note to mark the ground where he lay And rumors burn like fire through this town And I'd heard one bout him That he'd been in another lover's arms But he swore he never did And he swore he never did Lord will you forgive me But I just won't let that man get away I left him underneath the live oak tree Just a note to mark the ground where he lay Just a note to mark the ground where he lay Oh where he lay He left a note there on the counter Says he's headed out of town So I went grabbed my revolver And I chased my husband down And I shot him to the ground Lord will you forgive me When I just won't let that man get away I left him underneath the live oak tree Just a note to mark the ground where lay Just a note to mark the ground where lay
