 Tom Ames' Prayer
 Everyone in Nacadoches knew Tom Ames
 would come To some bad end
 Well the sheriff had cought him stealin' chickens
 and such
 by the time that he was ten
 And one day his daddy took a ten dollar bill
 and he tucked it in his hand
 He said I can fell your headed for trouble son
 and vour momma wouldn't understand
 So he took that money and his brothers old bay
 ancl IeE without a word of thanks
 Fell in with a crowd in some border town
 and took to robbin' banks
 Outside the law your luck will run out fast
 and a few years came and went
 'Till he's tropped in an alley in Abilene
 with all but four shells spent
 And he realized prayin' was the only thing
 that he hadn't ever tried
 Well he wasn't sure he knew quite how
 but he looked up tothe skv
 Said you don't owe me nothin' and as far as I know
 Lord don'f owe nathin' to you
 And I ain't askin' for a miracle Lord
 just a little bit of luck will do
 And you know I ain't never prayed before
 but it always seemed to me
 If prayin' is the same us beggin' Lord
 I won't take no charity
 Yeah but right now Lord witb my back to the wcll
 Can't help but recall
 How they nearly hung me for stealin' a horse
 in Fort Smith Arkansas
 Judge Parker said guilty and the gavel came down
 just like a cannon shot
 And I went away quietly
 and I began to file and plot
 Well they sent the preacher down, to my cell
 He said the Lord is your only hope
 He's the only friend that you gonna have
 When you hit the end of Parker's rope
 Well I guess be coulda' kept on preachin' 'till Christmas
 but he turned his back on me
 I put a home made blade to that golden throat
 and asked the deputy for the key
 Well it ain't the first close call I ever had
 I'm sure you already know
 I had some help from you Lord and the devil himself
 It's been strictly touch and go
 Yeah but wbo in the hell am I talkin' to
 there ain't no one here but me
 Then he cocked both his pistols and he spit in the dirt
 and he walked out in the street
