Breesy - The Perjury Lyrics

Out on the Buffalo, takes a heavy blow
Drink till you drop, it lays heavy
From the cold times, heavy blows

Lived in a shack in the shadows
Girl left her Gent, to live at my expense
I can't live my life with this noose around my neck

Dr John Johnson, please, don't keep this noose around my neck
For the sake of this quarter, the people, criminal wreck
I can't be guilty, a confession, purge in this contest
For the wife and the daughter, and the snow, would lay me to rest
In the cold, cold, shallows, I won't confess

Take off on the steamer, get away
Leave this life behind
Return to take my wife, keep her tight, and I'll blame it on my mates
I'll be charged with murder
And to stand Stand at the gates
I'll be left alone, afraid, before the whole human race

Dr John Johnson, please, don't keep this noose around my neck
For the sake of this quarter, the people, criminal wreck
I can't be guilty, a confession, could purge in this contest
For the wife and the daughter, and the snow, would lay me to rest
In the cold, cold, shallows, I won't confess

I made my confession, (Divide my heart and soul)
To be judged of my obsession (The dark will swallow me whole)
Do not condemn, and you will be not be condemned (Divide my heart and soul)
Forgive, forgive

Dr John Johnson, please, don't keep this noose around my neck
For the sake of this quarter, the people, criminal wreck
I can't be guilty, a confession, could purge in this contest
For the wife and the daughter, and the snow, would lay me to rest
In the cold, cold, shallows, I won't confess

Dr John Johnson, please, don't keep this noose around my neck
For the sake of this quarter, the people, criminal wreck
I can't be guilty, a confession, could purge in this contest
For the wife and the daughter, and the snow, would lay me to rest
In the cold, cold, shallows, I won't confess
