Under The Live Oak Lyrics

Left a note there on the counter

Says he's never coming home

Diagnosing all the wrongs he'd done

And every debt he owes

And every debt he owes

See my husband was a gambling man

And the dice they were his art

But the biggest bet he ever played

Was to break a woman's heart

Was to break a woman's heart

Lord will you forgive me

When I just won't let that man get away

I left him underneath the live oak tree

just a note to mark the ground where he lay

And rumors burn like fire through this town

And I'd heard one bout him

That he'd been in another lover's arms

But he swore he never did

And he swore he never did

Lord will you forgive me

But I just won't let that man get away

I left him underneath the live oak tree

Just a note to mark the ground where he lay

Just a note to mark the ground where he lay

Oh where he lay

He left a note there on the counter

Says he's headed out of town

So I went grabbed my revolver

And I chased my husband down

And I shot him to the ground

Lord will you forgive me

When I just won't let that man get away

I left him underneath the live oak tree

Just a note to mark the ground where lay

Just a note to mark the ground where lay
