Lyrics
The preacher taunted me and he smiled,
Said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile.
Now for once in your life you're alone,
now you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone."

I've just got to get a message to you, oh la, oh la.
One more hour and my life will be through, oh la, oh la.

I told him I'm in no hurry,
but if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry.
And for once in my life I'm alone,
and I've got to let her know just in time before I go.

I've just go to get a message to you, oh la, oh la.
One more hour and my life will be through, oh la, oh la.

Well I laughed but that didn't work,
and it's only her love that keeps me wearing this hurt.
Now I'm crying but deep down inside,
well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die.

I've just got to get a message to you, oh la, oh la.
One more hour and my life will be through, oh la, oh la.

Songfacts™:
Robin Gibb told The Mail On Sunday November 1, 2009 about this slice of pop melodrama sung from the perspective of a condemned prisoner: "This is about a prisoner on Death Row who only has a few hours to live. He wants the prison chaplain to pass on a final message to his wife. There's a certain urgency about it."
This song is about a love triangle that went bad. A jealous man who couldn't win the love of his girl friend and killed the man that his girl friend really loves. In the line "Well I did it to him now it's my turn to die." Also, in the line, "If I broke her heart, then won't you tell her I'm sorry." It is her love, that's why I 'm wearing this dirt. Before I thought it was shirt, but it is dirt. Dirt in this sense simply means a negative past with one's action. Again, here, he is saying because I can not win your love then I don't want anyone to win over you. In the final moment before he is about to be executed, he wanted to sent a message to his GF, how remorse he was.
