Can't Be Too Long lyrics

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 killed 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 killing 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...
