Lover's Crime

Way up north, my love lies sleepin'

Her lonely grave, beneath the pines

How sadly i recall her memory

She was my own true love devine



One night i found her with another

They did not know i was around

In a blinded rage i drew my pistol

I killed them both and fled that town



For many days i wandered over

Across the sea and desert sands

My heart filled with grief and sadness

I could not clense these, my blooded hands



For many years i've been a prisoner

My grayin' hair marks off the time

I'm going back to my old north-lands

To wash away my sin and pride x2
