one sin happens all the time
a common trait in man
five sins in a lifetime
the lord could understand
ten sins and yer troubled
the first stone has been cast
yer straight and narrow's bending
and it might not be your last
(chorus)no man is truly righteous
no man's without his faults
most sins are forgiven
others write the music to the strawfoot waltz
fifteen and yer lost
twenty is a chore
thirty needs confessin
and forty starts a war
each sin on it's own
is a forgivable offense
when adam bit the apple
he created our defense
(chorus)
fifty sins yer headed
down a dark and lonely path
sixty and yer begging
for a taste of the lord's wrath
eighty sins, yer fallin'
ninety and you fell
one hundred sins might find you
at the very gates of hell
(chorus)
