The Passion from PEARLY JENKINS by Pearly Jenkins

On my trail,
The hounds are howlin'
Soon they'll be overtaking me.
For what they call,
A crime of passion.
Sweet Jesus come and set me free.

For that woman's sultry eyes,
They were on fire.
And it started a burnin' in my heart.
I went blind with jealousy,
When she took off with Doc McGee.
So i took that woman's world,
And that woman all apart.

Well I'm not proud,
Of all my actions.
But I'd never been in love before.
Went to call on her,
One august evening.
Saw her kissing young McGee at her front door.

And that woman's sultry eyes,
They were on fire.
And it started a burnin' in my heart.
I went blind with jealousy,
When she took off with Doc McGee.
So i took that woman's world,
And that woman all apart.

So now I run,
But not forever.
I face a jaded Waterloo.
To beg forgiveness,
I'll never bother.
Now I know what jealousy can do.

For that woman's sultry eyes,
They were on fire.
And it started a burnin' in my heart.
I went blind with jealousy,
When she took off with Doc McGee.
So i took that woman's world,
And that woman all apart.
