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
