Young and a fool
That's what they say
Now (when) I'm thinking
It was true that way
I had a kind loving woman
Best of a kind
Being young and a fool
Made you cry all the time
Feel so blue
After what I've done
It's nothing but a shame
Shame and a sin
How can I ever
Make things right again
Now, when you're gone
To the great unknown
My kind of people
Made you dirty and low
I bet now in heaven
You have a better place
You walked through hell's fire
In your living days
I'm so sorry, baby
Didn't mean it that way
That's what they say
Now (when) I'm thinking
It was true that way
I had a kind loving woman
Best of a kind
Being young and a fool
Made you cry all the time
Feel so blue
After what I've done
It's nothing but a shame
Shame and a sin
How can I ever
Make things right again
Now, when you're gone
To the great unknown
My kind of people
Made you dirty and low
I bet now in heaven
You have a better place
You walked through hell's fire
In your living days
I'm so sorry, baby
Didn't mean it that way
