Forgive me girls but I must sin

Hovnan Jonah Alexanian

I took your sister for a ride
Next morning she turned up as my bride

Forgive me girls but I must sin

I love you dear now and near
Yet your sister holds my collar
As she holds my ring finger to the fire

Forgive me girls but I must sin

You are my world my globe
You give me full climate experience with hope

Yet she keeps me warm through the night
As she holds me in her protected cellar at night

Forgive me girls but I must sin

I love your climates
I love the Sun
I love the Moon
I love the Stars
I love your sister

And most of all
I love to sin
