i killed many men with the greatest of ease forgive me forgive me i m down on my knees i don t believe that there s a heaven to go but i must get this evil out of my bones and my soul wash the blood from my hands but my mind can t get clean i must flush away what i ve done what i ve seen well i ll hide when i will my lament it just grow my wife and my children they don t have to know the fire and the fever i forever fight i must resist to dance in the devil s delight now all i need is a damn way to cope there s no soap no hope no antidote let the truth wash over me there s only one way to be free all i really ever need jolene
