Ahhh ... ahhh ... Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ... The heat of a summer day, poundin' down on my back, Work like a dog in the sunlight, tryin' to pay the people back. I k**ed a man in the spring time; had to work hard just to make a dime, To buy my baby the things that she needs. I guess i didn't think twice, and now i have to pay the price, For k**ing a man of another creed. Ahhh ... ahhh ... Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ... I guess i'll have to be strong, the rest of my life can't be too long. I know i'll die some day, and be going far away, And you won't remember the things that i've done. I feel a shedding tear, it's only been a year, But i know i'll be dead when the evening comes. Ahhh ... ahhh ... Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ... I guess i'll have to be strong, the rest of my life can't be too long. Ahhh ... ahhh ... Ah, ah, ahhh ... ahhh ...
