It wasn't gambling that caused me to kill my friend Peter Blue
It wasn't gambling that caused me to kill my friend Peter Blue
If you caught your best friend with your wife
You'd do the same thing too
When they strapped on the lie detector
The needle kept going up and down
When they strapped on the lie detector
The needle kept going up and down
And they knew I were lyin'
Since I first sat down
So I spoke to my conscious and asked what should I do
Yes, I spoke to my conscious and asked what should I do
My conscious said, "Shorty
I would plead guilty if I were you."
So I stood up on my feet and raised up my right hand
So I stood up on my feet and raised up my right hand
I said, "Judge I'm confessing.
I shot my woman's man."
So the prosecutor asked me
"Shorty, why did you kill that man?"
So the prosecutor asked me
"Shorty, why did you kill that man?"
I said, "If you've never been in love
Then you wouldn't understand."
When I signed my confession, this is what I wrote
When I signed my confession, this is what I wrote
That I'm throwing myself
On the mercy of the court
When the jury found me guilty
My woman's eyes were full of tears
When the jury found me guilty
My woman's eyes were full of tears
The verdict was manslaughter
I got from one to twenty years
Baby, one year ain't no sentence and twenty years ain't no time
Baby, one year ain't no sentence and twenty years ain't no time
And if I pass
I'll see you when I do my time
