Johnny Cash - It’s A Sin To Tell A Lie lyrics

Be sure it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken
I love you, yes, I do, I love you

If you break my heart I'll die
So be sure that it's true
When you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie
Cross my heart and I hope to die
I'll never, never
Never tell another white lie
Took my little girl out on a date last night
Next to her Greta Gerty
Would have looked alright

Now I'm between the devil and
The deep blue sea
'Cause I said, "Baby, you look good to me"
I told her I loved her and oh, how I lied
Now she's getting set to
Be my blushing bride

If she leads me to the alter I'm sunk
'Cause I can not tell the
Preacher I was drunk
Lord have mercy on a no count sinner
Give me one more chance to
Let another guy win her

Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll never, never
Never tell her one more time
I'll never tell another white lie
