Intro

Verse

My terr-i-ble ways

They got me in jail

Where some did succeed

I always did fail

But I thought I was fine to wait for the day

When I’d paid for my terrible ways

Verse

My terr-i-ble ways

They came to and end

When a mighty deluge freed the criminal men

But I stayed in Mississippi

and three souls I saved

and so ended my terrible ways

Chorus

Terrible ways, terrible ways

sooner or later a criminal pays

And I’ll never have enough, enough

To pay this off

Verse

My terr-i-ble ways

The govenor forgave

On account of three souls and account of the wave

That took my wife and baby and swept them away

All ‘cause of my terrible ways

Chorus

Terrible ways, terrible ways

Sooner or later I know I’m going to pay

And I’ll never have enough, enough

To pay this off
