Revenge Is A Sin

I’ll always remember that first time we met
You had your long dark hair wearing your favorite blue dress
The moment I saw you dancing in the moonlight
I knew I would ask you to marry me that night

I thought you and I could be forever free
I never once thought you’d be taken from me
I pray to the lord, each and every long night
That I’ll find the man that took away your life

Revenge is a sin, darlin, I know
And he took you from me such a long time ago
But I’d gladly spend a life with the damned
If I knew your killer had died by my hand

I’ve searched each county in all of the west
I haven’t found nothing, but I ain’t given up yet
I’ll try the north, the south, if I got to, the east
I swear to you darlin, him and my bullet will meet

And revenge is a sin, darlin, I know
He took you from me such a long time ago
But I’d gladly spend a life with the damned
If I knew your killer had died by my hand

Truth be told, I’m not sure in the end
If you’d want this man alive or dead
I care for you, and I know you cared for me
But I just need this closure to truly be at peace

Revenge is a sin, darlin, I know
And he took you from me such a long time ago
But I’d gladly spend a life with the damned
If I knew your killer had died by my hand
