I made flowers bloom on Easter Sunday

For the nuns at the house of Sister Mary

Though they tried to save my soul, I just kept on digging holes

They might still be praying for me today

I remember the day they put Cathy away

36 years old and barely hanging on

And by the time she passed away the lawyers had taken everything

Except a couple of grand I put away for our son

There might be a place for me in heaven where sins are forgiven and a soul is free

There might be palace for me in heaven but there is no place left here for me

I guess you could say I have renounced worldly things

i don't know where I'll sleep tonight

But my children are all strong and I keep on keeping on

Its a good life. I have tried to live it right

There might be a place for me in heaven where sins are forgiven and a soul is free

There might be palace for me in heaven but there is no place left here for me
