Lyrics

I'm a patchwork quilt of a man, babe Think I've got too many sides It's the tormented struggle of each day A-keepin' all these fears locked inside She offered me a hand and I took it Yeah, I took her sweet laced hand Was it the hand of evil you were offering? I may never understand I may never understand Did you dance with me for a joke, babe? And did your friends all laugh and sneer? I never seen that kind of dance before The way you moved filled my head with fear Yeah, it filled my head with fear I didn't mean to tear your dress, babe Or to break your fine break your fine red nails Your priest he will not forgive me So, I rot in the hell of this jail Now I know it was Satan there dancing But why was it me? Lord, I don't understand To be the weapon of such vengeance When I'm a humble, a good Christian man Well I swear she sits on my bed, Lord Though the guard said there's nobody there And she's always offering her hand, Lord But I won't take it, I'm a good Christian man I won't take it, I'm a good Christian man
