    Lyrics »

Well people used to warn me about the hand of fate
All to late, all too late
The scene was set and the page had been turned
I was gonna learn by being burned
So when I hooked up with the hoodlum game
My future changed. rearranged
When the town found out and the truth was told
Even Momma wouldn't claim me at the gallows pole
She said...

(Chorus)
I bet you didn't know that the ways of sin
They would do you in, they would do you in
I bet you didn't know that the ways of sin
They would do you in, they would do you in

(2X and 3X also)
I bet you didn't think that the things you do
Would turn on you, would turn on you
I bet you didn't think that the ways of sin
They would do you in, they would do you in

I was the one who had to get ahead
Alive or dead, alive or dead
They took me back by the railroad track
To the cold jail cell, living hell
I tried to be the one with the famous name
All in vain, all in vain
I swear I had to do what they told me to
But they hung me down at the edge of town
They said...

(Repeat Chorus)

I was the one the town talked about
Whose luck ran out, whose luck ran out
And in the final chapter at the big showdown
No one cared to look so they closed my book
They said...

(Repeat Chorus)
