1
On a cold dark night way back in the pines
2
Big John met his woman down at the river line
3
Becka knew what was coming she wasn't unaware
4
For she hadn't been faithful to big John
5
And he was going to take her life there
6
Big John pulled out his dagger
7
And held it in his right hand
8
And then placed it in Becka's heart
9
For loving another man
10
Bloody Becka hit the ground
11
She than began to cry
12
And in her final dying words
13
To Big John she did reply
14
Remember me when your nights are long and cold
15
Remember me when your out there all alone
16
I don't regret a thing I did I'll never reach for you hand
17
Big John your gonna pay the price to die a wanted man
18
Big John got caught by the law man in the bordering town
19
They schedule for to hang him high told the people to gather round
20
Big John knew his life was over as the noose went around his head
21
And in his final moments there these where the words he said
22
Remember me when your nights are long and cold
23
Remember me when your out there all alone
24
I don't regret a thing I did I'll never change who I am
25
So I'll have to pay the price to die a wanted man
26
Well they buried Big John back in the pines where the murder had took place
27
You can feel the eerie touch of death as you stand around his grave
28
Some say that on a cold dark night even though Big John is dead
29
You can still here the lonesome dead man moan the words that his tombstone read
30
Remember me when your nights are long and cold
31
Remember me when your out there all alone
32
I don't regret a thing I did I'll never change who I am
33
So I'll have to pay the price to die a wanted man
34
So I'll have to pay the price to die a wanted man
