And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
Oh, I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

Oh, I wish that I could tell you
I was safe away from harm,
But everytime I close my eyes
Mama, I wish you could hold me in your arms.

And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

And Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done.
I hope I can still get home to heaven.
I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.

Oh, I wish I had a bible
Instead of this damn gun.
