The moment I gave in
To the pleasures of man
Some they called it weakness
While others called it sin
Oh brother, hear the trouble
That I'm in
Well I made a lot of money
And I bought a lot of things
And I held many women
'N they tried to marry me
But the pardon never came
Before the plea
Now they're long gone
And things I've said and done
Have always been completely if I please
Now I feel I can say
In the morning that is today
Trying to find a better way to be
For a man like me.
I remember as a young man
Well I played the hand they dealt
While I tried to bury
All the ways it felt
But as a man I thought you knew me
Fairly well
