lyrics

I heard it said there's a special place in hell
Where double-crossing lovers while away the years
Of a sentence so long it sees the drying of their tears
And even the devil laughs from his icy shell

So when you get there, I hope you feel so low
For borrowing more trouble than any one woman can hold
All because you couldn't sleep in a bed that was cold
And betrayed the man who swore he loved you so

I heard it tell
There's a special place in hell
For double-crossing lovers
And grave-digging mothers
And I don't know
Which is worse
But of the two
I know you're the first

After 100 years, if you still know my name
Won't you cry it out loud in the eternal night
So even the wicked will know you never done me right
And the shame of your sin will always remain

I heard it tell
There's a special place in hell
For double-crossing lovers
And grave-digging mothers
And I don't know
Which is worse
But of the two
I know you're the first

I'll be in heaven above
I'll be in heaven above
I'll be in heaven above
With God and the angels and my one true love

I heard it tell
There's a special place in hell
For double-crossing lovers
And grave-digging mothers
And I don't know
Which is worse
But of the two
I know you're the first
