TOM RAY

i left San Quentin last night
i killed a man i'm on the flight
since the first rise of the sun
i'm already on the run

i shot tommy ray he took my girl
he knew that she was my only pearl
before he failed he was my friend
but now he has found a dreadful end

oh tommy ray what have i done
i shot my best friend with a gun
oh tommy ray what have i done
i shot my best friend with a gun
oh tommy ray what have i done


now everywhere i'll be a stranger
where i'll go i'll be in danger
for this murder i will pay
cause i'm the man who shot tommy ray

oh tommy ray what have i done
i shot my best friend with a gun
oh tommy ray what have i done
i shot my best friend with a gun
oh tommy ray what have i done
