Rounder

I'm just a lonesome old rounder
 Never meant to hurt no one
 But some flames are hard to simmer
 I wore on my pride on my bad side
 And on the other get my hand close by the trigger
 Some folks are guided by the weight of their tongues
 But we all fall silent at the end of a gun
 And now I'm just a lonesome old rounder
 With a number for my name and a rope to haunt my dreams
 They're going to hang me boys from a tall, tall tree
 Those demons there be the death of me
 Some folks are guided by some light of the Lord
 But me, I was blinded, and I'll never afford
 My salvation
 ♪
 I'm just a lonesome old rounder
 Darkness grows and then it's gone
 And at the end of this lonely road
 Those deeds you've done, say you'll never grow old
 Some folks are guided by the love they share
 But darkness called and left me unaware
 And now I'm just a lonesome old rounder
 But the few last words and one last meal
 They're going to hang me boys come the morning light
 When darkness smiles and all is still
 All is still
