Lyrics

If they came for me today
I'd pull the pin on this hand grenade
For a year or maybe two
Me and the boss toiled on the land
He taught me to sing and I was reborn
He said that I should lead a band
As we stripped the trees from the forest floor
As we stripped the trees from the forest floor
As we stripped the trees from the forest floor
As we stripped the trees from the forest floor
I nailed me together a small wooden box
And buried in it some jewels I stole
Some jewellery I had stole for her
Rubies, jade and diamonds
Buried where no one would find them
Buried where no one would find them
One day the sheriffs came for me
With handcuffs and accusations
In the tiny jailer's cart
I thought I'd choke from suffocation
They locked me in a hot metal shed
For a month and ten more days
Thanks to God and I did pray
They threatened forever I would stay
But my only worthy crime
Was loving her until I died
To me my one and only crime
Was loving her until I died
On a prison ship I sailed away
To the frozen ocean in the month of May
It's true I did commit a crime
By loving her until I died
It's true I did commit a crime
By loving her until I died
