Lover's Crime Lyrics - Walkabouts

Way up north, my love lies sleepin' 

Her lonely grave, beneath the pines 

How sadly I recall her memory 

She was my own true love divine 

One night I found her with another 

They did not know I was around 

In a blinded rage I drew my pistol 

I killed them both and fled that town 

For many days I wandered over 

Across the sea and desert sands 

My heart filled with grief and sadness 

I could not cleanse these, my blooded hands 

For many years I've been a prisoner 

My grayin' hair marks off the time 

I'm going back to my old north-lands 

To wash away my sin and pride 

To wash away my sin and pride
