Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

My Sinful Past

Come listen to my story

It tells of sorrow and pain

My sinful past still haunts me

I’ve lived my lifetime in vain

The hand reached down to guide me

The smile was sweet to see

I heard a sinner murmur

Oh Lord, have mercy on me

I’ve lead a life so wicked

I’ve lost all I ever had

That’s why I’m bound for destruction

It’s sinful, it’s shameful and sad
