|
I didn't mean to end his life, I know it wasn't right |
|
I can't even sleep at night, can't get it off my mind |
|
I need to get out of sight 'fore I end up |
|
Behind bars |
|
What started out as a simple altercation |
|
Turned into a real sticky situation |
|
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing |
|
Makes me wanna cry |
|
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him |
|
Could've been somebody's son |
|
And I took his heart when |
|
I pulled out that gun |
|
Rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum |
|
Man down |
|
Rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum |
|
Man down |
|
Oh, mama, mama, mama |
|
I just shot a man down |
|
In central station |
|
In front of a big ol' crowd |
|
Oh why? Oh, why? |
|
Oh, mama, mama, mama |
|
I just shot a man down |
|
In central station |
|
It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue |
|
When she fits right down in my shoes what do you expect me to do |
|
If you're playing me for a fool, I will lose my cool |
|
And reach for my firearm |
|
I didn't mean to lay him down |
|
But it's too late to turn back now |
|
Don't know what I was thinking now he's no longer living |
|
So I'm 'bout to leave town |
|
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him |
|
Could've been somebody's son |
|
And I took his heart when |
|
I pulled out that gun |
|
Rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum |
|
Man down |
|
Rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum |
|
Man down |
|
Oh, mama, mama, mama |
|
I just shot a man down |
|
In central station |
|
In front of a big ol' crowd |
|
Oh why? Oh, why? |
|
Oh, mama, mama, mama |
|
I just shot a man down |
|
(Will you hear me now?) |
|
In central station |
|
Look, I never thought I'd do it, never thought I'd do it |
|
Never thought I'd do it |
|
Oh, gosh what ever happened to me, ever happened to me |
|
Ever happened to me? |
|
Why did I pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger? |
|
And end a nigga, end a nigga life so soon |
|
When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it on you |
|
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do |
|
Rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum |
|
Me say woman down, a wha me say |
|
Rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum |
|
When me went downtown |
|
'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal |
|
Oh Lord, have mercy, now I am a criminal, man down |
|
Tell the judge please gimme minimal |
|
Run out of town, none a them can save me now, save me now |
|
Oh, mama, mama, mama |
|

|
In central station |
|
In front of a big ol' crowd |
|
Oh why? Oh, why? |
|
Oh, mama, mama, mama |
|
I just shot a man down |
|
In central station |
