Ahhh Ahhh Ah Ah Ahhh Ahhh The heat of a summer day pounding down on my back Work like a dog in the sunlight trying 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
