Ten Deadly Sins Songtext
von Peter and the Test Tube Babies

I′m a cowboy, I'm a man.
Sometimes it′s hard to be true.
So when I'm feeling randy, and there's temptation handy.
I remember these ten deadly sins.

I′ll be good to my mum and my papa.
′Cos they've always been good to me.

I′ll try not to talk dirty, or let myself get shirty.
'Cos that ain′t what a good cowboy should do.
I'll try not to wet in my bed.
I′ll try not to get out of my head.

So if you hear me cryin'.
You'll know that I′ve been lyin′.
Letting all these sins pass me by.

Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins.
They're sometimes real hard not to do.
Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins.
All I want to do is what I do.


I′ll always be faithful to my wife, i'll always treat her fair in life.
I won′t get out of order, I'll treat her like I ought ′ter.
'Cos that ain't what a good cowboy should do.

I′ll try not to get hooked on vice.
I won′t make the same mistake twice.
So if you hear me cryin', you′ll know that I've been lyin′.
Drinking with some old friend of mine.

Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins.
Sometimes it's hard not to do.
Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins.
All I wanna′ be is what I am.

. I've hit the booze, i've hit the wife.
I′ve hit the kids all of their short lives.

Ten deadly sins, ten deadly sins, All I wanna′ be is what I am.

I'll be good to my mum and my papa.
′Cos they've always been good to me.
So if you hear me cryin′, you'll know that I′ve been lyin'.
I've let all these sins pass me by.
