[Intro]
               x2

            
I kissed you c

              
ause I've neve

        
r been an ange

                          
l
            
I learned to s

          
ay hosannas on

/                           
 my knees
              
But they threw

            
 me out of Sun

              
day school whe

                 
n I was nine
              
And the sister

            
s said I did j

             
ust as I pleas

       
ed
Even so I try to be a good girl
It's only what I want that makes me weak
I had no desire to be a child of sin
Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek

Now let me go,

 my honey oh
             
Back to Tennes

[Instrumental]
         

            
Now I've tried

        
 drinking rye 

                      
and gamblin'
            
Dancing with d

        
amnation is a 

           
ball
            
But of all the

              
 little ways I

              
've found to h

     
urt myself
            
Well you might

Why can't I go

         
 and live the 

                
life rightly?
            
Why can't I go

             
 back home to 

                
apple pie?
              
Cause your aff
