Ballad Of A Broken Man Lyrics

Took out my pistol

She's the faithful one

I went down to the river

Where it all began

Where I gave you my heart

And told you you're the one

Took out my pocket watch

The day is almost done

I went down to the river

In the fading sun

Where I held you in my arms

And told you you're the one

Down where the muddy waters flow

I'm gonna sacrifice my soul

Made up my mind I'm gonna go

And never return

Never return

The cross of Jesus

Was hanging 'round my neck

I went down to the river

Holding no regret

Would my life still be worth living

If we'd never met

Down where the muddy waters flow

I'm gonna sacrifice my soul

Made up my mind I'm gonna go

And never return

Never return

I've been writing poetry at dawn

Watching as another day is born

Down where the muddy waters flow

I'm gonna sacrifice my soul

Made up my mind I'm gonna go

And never return

Down where the muddy waters flow

I'm gonna sacrifice my soul

Made up my mind I'm gonna go

And never return

Never return

Never return

Down where the muddy waters flow
