| I met a girl last night that I wanted to love
|
| Let me tell you man what a fool I was
|
| I took her home like she was twenty one
|
| And when I met her mother she said «I'm sorry son»
|
| I said «Ho ho ho ho, please let me explain»
|
| She said «When you see the judge, you can tell him everything»
|
| The girl looked at her mother, she said «Mother let him go
|
| It’s all my fault, mama, 'cause he didn’t know»
|
| Her mother looked around, she said «He's sure a fool
|
| This man now is ten times seven and he knows the rules»
|
| I said «Ho ho ho ho, please let me explain»
|
| She said «When you see the judge, you can tell him everything»
|
| Then her mother said «Jo, you better come here quick
|
| I’ve a rascal outside and he thinks he’s slick»
|
| I stand to make up, had a mind to run
|
| And out stepped Jo with his Tommy gun
|
| I said «Ho ho ho ho, please let me explain»
|
| She said «When you see the judge, you can tell him everything»
|
| I said «Please, please mister, I didn’t think no wrong»
|
| He said «I make sure you leave my daughter alone»
|
| He said «Now you don’t have to worry about judge Hume
|
| 'Cause it was me and my job and you had your fuel»
|
| I said «Ho ho ho ho, please let me explain»
|
| He said «I'm the judge and you’re talking to the jury man» |
