I'm drownded in sorrow, I'm drownded in scorn
I knew I'd end this way since the day I was born
I never knew nothin 'cept hunger and fear
And the love that you gave me was lies to keep me near
In a field of new grass you first lay me down
I met you there daily just outside of town
A fool I have lived and a fool I will die
But you'll go to the devil for making me cry
"You smile so sweetly," my momma would say
"But you're wicked my little girl.
When death comes to heaven you never will go.
Till then, I will love you, till then.
Till then, I will love you, till then."
Your hands they offend me, they pull me apart
Your eyes they can burn a hole right through my heart
I'm ruined for love and I'm ruined for life
I'll never be nothing, I'm ready to go
I'm damned for sure, and I know that I'm lost
But I'll take my revenge whatever the cost
Please tell the angels to turn their sweet heads
I can't bare them to see me when I kill you dead
"You smile so sweetly," my mama would say,
"But you're wicked my little girl.
When death comes to heaven you never will go.
Till then, I will love you, till then.
Till then, I will love you, till then."
Please tell my mama, my heart it was broke
At a very young age--of this we never spoke
Tell her the man she loves is going cold in the ground
And her only baby is hangin' outside of town
"You smile so sweetly," my mama would say,
"But you're wicked my little girl.
When death comes to heaven you never will go.
Till then, I will love you, till then.
Till then, I will love you, till then.
Till then, I will love you, till then."
