caused me to kill my friend
Peter
G
Blue.
If you caught your best friend with your wife,
you'd do the same thing, too
When they strapped on the lie detector,
C
G
the needle kept going up and down
Then they knew I was lying
C
G
when I first sat down
So I spoke to my conscience an
C
G
d asked what should I do
Em
C
Yes, I spoke to my conscience
My conscience told me I'd
plead guilty if I were you
So I stood up on my feet and
raised up my right hand
I said,
So the prosecutor asked me,
C
G
C
G
Shorty, why did you kill that man?
C
G
Yes, the prosecutor asked me,
C
G
Shorty, why did you kill that man?
When I signed my confession,
this is what I wrote
C
G
That I'm throwing myself on
C
G
the mercy of the court
When the jury found me guilty,
my woman's eyes was full of tears
The verdict was manslaughter,
C
G
I got from one to twenty years
Baby, one year ain't no sentence,
C
G
and twenty years ain't no time
And if life bless,
How did you like the song?
