You've got to help me dear

Because there's no release 

From this tangled beast 

You got to be my guide 

Ridin' by my side 

I got a sickness now 

When I'm gone it seems 

You got my very dreams 

I took a chance now 

Chance for romance now 

Don't let me leave 

You've got to help me dear 

Because there's no release 

From this tangled beast 

He's gotta (?) walking straight 

Straight to the stockyard gate 

I ain't about to die 

But you can have your way 

Don't ever go away 

'Cause you know everything 

Hangs from a golden chain 

Around your white neck 

I'm spendin' time now 

With the great ones 

That hang from your ceiling 

You've got to help me dear 

Because there's no release 

From this tangled beast
