The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

Forgive Me Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
They tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do
They tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do
Well, if thats the case, thats the case
I think Im going to kill that man
Then drop down on my knees
Well, this morning, God knows, that man he comes a-waltzing in
Just waltzing in
Well, I got my shotgun, I broke down
I started to mow that man down
Yeah, they tell me God forgives you
If thats the case now, people
Im gonna mow my baby down
You dont put yourself out, you dont put yourself out
You dont treat margo right, you dont treat margo right
Now darling, there come a time
Youre gonna need my love again
They tell me God forgives me for almost anything you do
You dont seem to understand
Ive got your life right in my hands
Yeah, they tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do
Anything you do
Well, if thats the case, thats the case
I think Im going to kill that man
Then drop down on my knees
This morning, God knows, that man he comes waltzing in
Just waltzing in
Well, I grabbed my shotgun, I broke down
I started to mow that man down
Yeah, they tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do
If thats the case now, people
Im gonna mow my baby down
Im gonna mow my baby down
Im gonna shoot that man
You dont put yourself out, you dont put yourself out
You dont treat margo right, you dont treat your baby right
Now darling, there come a time
Youre gonna need my love again
Yeah, they tell me God forgives you for almost anything
Anything you do
