about

The second in a series of self-deprecating hillbilly songs that began to appear in the fall of 2019. This one was in the works when i received an assignment to use the line "where sins begin" in a song, and it happened to fit the verse i was working on. I played this version on my brother Bill's old Gibson.

lyrics

i am, i am
a most despicable man
i never met the devil
but i’m his biggest fan
nine years old
i pledged my soul
he threw it in a garbage can
i am a most despicable man

oh yes i am
a most despicable man
you’d best be lookin for
trouble boy
when i pull up in my van
where sins begin, count me in
i’m down with any eville plan
i am a most despicable man

this world would be a better place
if i stayed home in bed
i might as well admit it
if only in my head
if only you could hear my thoughts
you’d surely want me dead
i am a most despicable man

oh yes i am
a most despicable man
just a weed from an evil seed
in the garden where it all began
my mother named me dangerous
but you can call me dan
i am a most despicable man
Yes i am a most despicable man
