From the recording Beautiful Lady

Lyrics

VERSE
I was washing your clothes when I found her note
When I read what she said, you and me were dead
You should have been more careful; now you need to be prayerful
’Cause now you’re gone for good and I think you should…

CHORUS
1. Pray that Jesus will forgive you, ’cause I won’t
2. And pray that Jesus will forgive you, ’cause I won’t
3. & 4. Now I know Jesus will forgive you, but I won’t
You think it would be good if my eyes were closed, but I don’t
I’ve thrown your underwear into the trees
Your shirts and socks are among the leaves
I know Jesus will forgive you, but I won’t

VERSE
Do you remember that great big promise you didn’t keep?
You would never stray so I took the leap
Only me for you; only you for me
If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get down on your knees…

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
By the way, I gave all your pants to that shelter place
Because, with your way of thinkin,’ they’d be no good to you

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat Chorus/TAG
I know Jesus will forgive you, but I won’t
