Ron D Bowes - Wicked Son Lyrics

We were playing cards just the other night
And the game descended into a fight
A farmer's son pulled his gun on me
I shot him down
I watched him bleed

Sweet Lord have mercy on my soul
Sweet Lord have mercy on my soul
I took my gun
And I killed someone
Have mercy on your wicked son

The posse's hard upon my trail
And if they catch me, they'll throw me in jail
The sheriff and I don't see eye to eye
I think he'd like to see me die

Sweet Lord have mercy on my soul
Sweet Lord have mercy on my soul
I took my gun
And I killed someone
Have mercy on your wicked son

I've got my pistols out by my side
They say you can run, but you sure can't hide
But I'm gonna go out with a bang
'Cause if I don't, then I'm gonna hang

Sweet Lord have mercy on my soul
Sweet Lord have mercy on my soul
I took my gun
And I killed someone
Have mercy on your wicked son
