Sweet William Lyrics
[Verse]
I'll tell you a story that happened to me
How I lost my lover, how sad I will be
It was early one evening, I'd just gotten home
Heard my wife talkin' with William Malone
"Sweet William, I love you," I heard her say
"By this time tomorrow, we'll be far away"
I walked up and grabbed her by her golden hair
Pulled out my pistol, shot my lady fair
"I'm sorry," cried William, "Don't take my life"
But my bullets ripped through him, he fell by my wife
Now I'm down in prison, got a number, no name
Sunrise tomorrow, I must die in chains
