You know, I was standin' by the river, watching my bridge burn down
I was standin' by the river, watching my bridge burn down
'Cause I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now
Oh, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now, mm-hmm
Hey there, doctor, tell me what do you see
'Cause I got a bad disease, I'm in need of your remedy
And I've been aching from my head to my toes
Well, I've been aching so much that I just don't ache no more
But there is a one thing that I need you to see
And you ain't never met a man as sick as me
Hey, mister bartender, you see my trembling hands
Oh, you know I need a drink and I need it so bad
'Cause I dont know, Lordy, what I just done
But you got me burning like a foxchild rebel under the sun
Now I'm shaking from all my misery
'Cause you ain't never met a man as wrong as me
And I know, know, know, I don't lie
'Cause I was taken over by the devil last night
And I know, know, know, when he come around
Well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now
Hey, mister Judge, you go and lock me up
'Cause I've been thinking things that I've should not thinkin' of
Go and hide all your brothers, go and hide the knife
'Cause you got me creepin' though the dark in the middle of the lonely night
You better lock your door and throw away the key
'Cause you ain't never met a men as guilty as me
And I know, know, know, I don't lie
Because I was taken over by the devil last night, whoa-oh-oh
And I know, know, know when he come around
Well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for 'em all right now
And I know, know, know, I don't lie
'Cause I was taken over by the devil last night, whoa-oh-oh
And I know, know, know, when he come around
Well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for 'em all right now
Yeah, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now
Oh well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now
