The dead man came calling
My name and in need
Said "Betty, you're my girl
The strongest I've seen".
But oh, my heart
Is heading to break.
They say God forgives,
But I can't learn the same.
Said Betty- she's fine
And Betty- she's torn
And Betty makes love
Like woman, at all.
But oh, my heart
Is heading to break.
They say God forgives,
But I can't learn the same.
So I gave him my time,
And I gave him my peace,
And I gave him my heart,
Gave it to keep.
But oh, my eyes
Making fools out of me.
They say love is blindness (They say God forgives)
I could no longer see (But I can't learn the same)
Now I've no more to give,
And I've no more to say,
And the stars shine less bright now,
Over this dead man's bay.
But oh, my heart
Is heading to break.
They say God forgives,
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives,
Is this love in the grave?
