歌词
Well, it was my gambling made me, kill my friend Peter Blue
Oh, it was my gambling made me, kill my friend Peter Blue
See your wife with your best friend and you'd do the same thing too
Well, I talked to my conscious, conscious spoke back at me
Yeah, and I talked to my conscious, conscious spoke back at me
Said man, plead guilty, Lord if it was me
Oh Lord, they have me in the witness stand
Hey now, up in the witness stand,
But Lord have mercy, I've never harmed a man
Prosecutor turn and started, prosecuting me
Prosecutor turn and started, prosecuting me
Man that cat gave, me the third degree
Fall down on my knees and raised up my right hand
I stood up on my feet and raised up my right hand
Good Lord have mercy, yes I killed my woman's man
When I signed my confession boys, this is what I wrote
When I signed my confession man, this is what I wrote
I would throw myself on, the mercy of the court
Strapped on the lie detector, the needle was going up and down
Strapped on the lie detector, the needle was going up and down
And they knew I was lyin' Lord, when I first sat down
Yeah
When they passed down the verdict
My baby's eyes was filled with tears
When they passed down the verdict
My baby's eyes was filled with tears
And they called man started, and I got one for twenty years
Six months ain't no sentence, one year ain't no time
Six months ain't no sentence, one year ain't no time
Well I see you baby, yeah Lord, when I've done doin' mine
Yeah
