lyrics

Someone's gonna pay for that woman's low down ways
She put me in a spell, there was nothing I could say
She slithers and she shines and I love the way she moves
and I know it's gonna cost me, Jealous Husband Blues

My darling's plan went south for to high tail in the night, A man come home to find me in his house with his own wife
Yesterday I just turned 22, my shiverin' body frail, that's a long time left for livin' friends, with a hound on your trail

The hammer's comin' down but it hasn't fallen yet
Cause wounded pride remembers what a cheatin' heart forgets
The storm is coming soon, it's gonna crash down on my head
There's gonna be a reckoning, I wish that I was dead

I made good my escape from old El Paso with my life, never meant no one no harm, now I'm tryin' to live right
Heaven knows I've been ashamed but I do forgive myself, could even be in line for a glimpse of fiery hell

I've fallen deep in love with a girl across the sea, she gives me everything I need, her smile sets me free
We're bound for Colorado, gonna raise a family
She's never even drank lord, she's perfect as you please

It seemed I'd been forgiven and the idle threat was gone, that was seven years ago and wounded pride don't last that long
But revenge before dishonor doesn't care about right or wrong, he decided to make peace with a homemade car bomb

I'm locked in this asylum and I miss my darlin' so, I'll be right back home to see her just as soon as I'm let go
But there's nothing but a cross of 20 years beneath my nose, and all that I can give her, friends, is a tear drop and a rose
