Criminal Man

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The lamp is burned low, at the brick house down the street,

At the very same place i got knocked off my feet,

A nickel a dime boys i got what you need,

I’m a criminal man, come from a criminal breed.

Ay-o, ay-o, ay-o, o, o, ooo.

So many love’s i have lost throughout my whole life,

Well i try to make it better, but the scotch won’t suffice,

If a man of desire were a man of the times, then i’d be a few years back,

A few dollars behind.

Ay-o, ay-o, ay-o, o, o, ooo.

Well this ain’t a sad song boy, this is my life,

And i live for the sin, the struggle, the strife,

I live to laugh, and i live to cry,

Well i live till i don’t, then i guess that i’ll die.
