Over the hill they're comin'
Can't hold them back for long
They don't know why I wronged her
And left her to die
They only know the sweet thing
That passed them in the street
That kissed the children, went to church
I knew her deceit
Black eyes fooled me, dazed my head
There were no strangers to her bed
Had to end it and save my soul
I loved my black eyes
No good to ask for mercy
Nobody wants to hear
Shouting their threats I don't fear them
I know I will die
They can't be blamed for hating
For wanting to have my head
I killed the flower of their town
Their black eyes is dead
Black eyes fooled me, dazed my head
There were no strangers to her bed
Had to end it and save my soul
I loved my black eyes
Black eyes fooled me, dazed my head
There were no strangers to her bed
Had to end it and save my soul
I loved my black eyes
