The dead man came calling
My name and in need
Said "Betty, you're my girl
The strongest I've seen"
But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same
Said Betty she's fine
And Betty she's torn
And Betty makes love
Like woman at all
But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same
So I gave him my time
And I gave him my peace
And I gave him my heart
Gave it to keep
But oh my eyes
Making fools out of me
They say love is blindness (They say God forgives)
I could no longer see (But I can't learn the same)
Now I've no more to give
And I've no more to say
And the stars shine less bright now
Over this dead man's bay
But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
