Conviction Song

Conviction Song

Oh, tell my mother, tell my son
Won't you remember, about me
And the things I've done
Don't tell my brother, father too
Not till December
When I'm dead and gone

And I will remain
Ever to blame
Won't you tell them
About me

I was once a man of conviction
Now, I'm a wanted man
Twice convicted
Sometimes a man will do anything That it takes to be free
One time was all that it took
Take a look, they threw the book at me

And I will remain
Ever to blame
Won't you tell them
About me
