My terr-i-ble ways
They got me in jail
Where some did succeed
I always did fail
But I thought I was fine to wait for the day
When Id paid for my terrible ways
My terr-i-ble ways
They came to and end
When a mighty deluge freed the criminal men
But I stayed in Mississippi
and three souls I saved
and so ended my terrible ways
Terrible ways, terrible ways
sooner or later a criminal pays
And Ill never have enough, enough
To pay this off
play verse 1x
repeat chorus
My terr-i-ble ways
The govenor forgave
On account of three souls and account of the wave
That took my wife and baby and swept them away
All cause of my terrible ways
Terrible ways, terrible ways
Sooner or later I know Im going to pay
And Ill never have enough, enough
To pay this off
