lyrics

My name is Jimmy Ray and now I’m all alone
I had a family once, but they’re all gone.
They tell me I’m not well.
They put me in this prison cell I don’t remember why

And everyone I ever loved sooner or later said goodbye.

They tell me I should pray to ease my mind
But they don’t know God’s talking to me all the time.
He tell me what to do
I am the hand of God and my aim is true.

Everyone I ever loved sooner or later said goodbye

My name is Jimmy Ray and now my time has come
They’re gonna take my life for what I done
Y’all remember this
You know, the hand of God might be a fist.

And now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take away

I pray to God watch over Jimmy Ray.
