I Walk Alone

My mamma died when I was nine, done wrong by my pa

he left me cold and lonely one step ahead of the law

Trouble's always followed me wherever I go

Bad luck is the only luck I have ever known

See I was born to walk alone, my only friend the crow

And even he foresakes me when that north wind starts

to blow

Many are the lives I have left ruined in my tracks

As many are the reasons for me to watch my back

But oh, don't you judge me 'cause I've done my time in

Hell

And where this lonely road that I travel will end

I know only too well . . . I walk alone

Those who've felt my fury say the Devil begat me

I wish I could deny it but I cannot disagree

Most times my name precedes me with tales of evil

deeds

There's not a town along this road that does not wish

me my godspeed

But oh, don't you judge me 'cause I've done my time in

Hell

And where this lonely road that I travel will end

I know only too well . . . I walk alone

And there are times it's hard to live with things I've

done and said

I curse my father and the demons he left in his stead

Damn his loveless eyes, eyes that never gazed

Upon his wicked wanderin' son, upon the Hell he

raised

But oh, don't you judge me 'cause I've done my time in

Hell

And where this lonely road that I travel will end

I know only too well . . . I walk alone
