[Verse 1]
You don’t want none lady of what I've got to share
I’ve got flesh between my teeth from living in a snare
The more I bite and struggle, oh the less I'd like to care
That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair
That I once held a virtue with green eyes and auburn hair

[Chorus]
And I’m long, long gone
Ain’t a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain’t a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love

[Verse 2]
You don’t want none lady oh take it from me
The charm that I give you is anything, but free
It'll cost you years and many tears and it's not yours to keep
I poison everything I touch like nothing else that breathes
I poison everything I touch like nothing else that breathes

[Chorus]
And I’m long, long gone
Ain’t a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain’t a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love

[Verse 3 ]
And you don’t want none lady I can’t be your man
I live deep in a holler between the holy and the damned
And the only thing that keeps the peace are the voices in my head
Lord I pray that someday I'll find the time to wed
Lord I pray that someday I'll find the time to wed
[Chorus]
And I’m long, long gone
Ain’t a maiden here or yonder ever need this kind of love
Ain’t a maiden here or yonder ever need my kind of love
