Darling Willie, run away with me Take my hand now, but hold your breath For if I'm followed, I'll never more be free Oh, what've I done? If I was the bad guy, would you love me less? Lookin' over my shoulder, there's trouble in town Undone in shadows, a crime of flesh Cops and robbers gonna chase me down I'm yearning to run If I was the bad guy, would you love me less? ♪ Late last evening, to me my sister ran With a weight of darkness upon her breast And it tells the story of her husband's hand She reads it all alone If I was the bad guy, would you love me less? So I followed her husband down into the glade And I drew my dagger across his chest And the wound I dug as deeply as his grave How black his blood did flow If I was the bad guy, would you love me less? ♪ Now I've known death by his first name Tears at my mind, but I won't repent For sisters know, our hearts are but the same They break and grieve as one If I was the bad guy, would you love me less? So darling Willie, run away with me Take my hand now, I'll hold my breath For if you follow, we'll ever more be free You know what I've done Baby, I'm the bad guy, do you love me less? Baby, I'm the bad guy, do you love me less?
