I've stole that money for my baby I've shot that man who shot at me
|
She wasn't even in the courtroom and I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me
|
Now Lord you know that I ain't yellow but she's out there running fancy free
|
A lovin' up some other fellow and I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me
|

|
I've stole that money for my honey I dressed her like a Christmas tree
|
Now she won't even write a letter and I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me
|
In three more days they're gonna hang me now I've got it coming out at me
|
Oh with my last breath they'll hear me holler
|
Lord I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me
|
Well I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me
