Forgive Me - John Lee Hooker

They tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do

They tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do

Well, if that’s the case, that’s the case

I think I’m going to kill that man

Then drop down on my knees

Well, this morning, God knows, that man he comes a-waltzing in

Just waltzing in

Well, I got my shotgun, I broke down

I started to mow that man down

Yeah, they tell me God forgives you

If that’s the case now, people

I’m gonna mow my baby down

You don’t put yourself out, you don’t put yourself out

You don’t treat Margo right, you don’t treat Margo right

Now darling, there come a time

You’re gonna need my love again

They tell me God forgives me for almost anything you do

You don’t seem to understand

I’ve got your life right in my hands

Yeah, they tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do

Anything you do

Well, if that’s the case, that’s the case

I think I’m going to kill that man

Then drop down on my knees

This morning, God knows, that man he comes waltzing in

Just waltzing in

Well, I grabbed my shotgun, I broke down

I started to mow that man down

Yeah, they tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do

If that’s the case now, people

I’m gonna mow my baby down

I’m gonna mow my baby down

I’m gonna shoot that man

You don’t put yourself out, you don’t put yourself out

You don’t treat Margo right, you don’t treat your baby right

Now darling, there come a time

You’re gonna need my love again

Yeah, they tell me God forgives you for almost anything

Anything you do
