Why Do You Punish Me

Words & Music by Erwin King

Recorded by Hank Snow



Why do you punish me for loving you

Youre counting my mistakes, how about yours?

Why do you sentence me to nights of tears?

Convicting all these dreams I've dreamed for years?



My heart cries out behind these prison bars

It pleads to you for your true love to set it free

Why do you punish me? Is love a crime?

If so I'll spend a lifetime loving, serving time
