For if you do I will torment you And after death me ghost will haunt you.” |

26 May 24 - 12:11 PM (#4202960) Subject: RE: Lyr req: If you do my ghost will haunt you From: Reinhard Love Farewell aka Love Brave Boys aka Johnny and Molly (Roud 1301) share quite a few verses with Whiskey You’re the Devil - both songs mostly seem to differ in the chorus. So probably this one won't be the one Joan is looking for either. |
