The preacher taunted me and he smiled
Said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile
Now for once in your life you're alone
But you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone"

"I've just got to get a message to you, oh la, oh la
One more hour and my life will be through, oh la, oh la"

I told him, "I'm in no hurry
But if I broke her heart, then won't you tell her I'm sorry
And for once in my life I'm alone
And I got to let her know just in time before I go"

"I've just go to get a message to you, oh la, oh la
One more hour and my life will be through, oh la, oh la"

Well I laughed but that didn't hurt
And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt
Now I'm crying but deep down inside
Well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

I've just got to get a message to you, oh la, oh la
One more hour and my life will be through, oh la, oh la

Oh la, cne more hour and my life will be through, oh la, oh la
I've just got to get a message to her, oh la, oh la
