Court Of The Common Plea |
| The only woman I ever loved |
| Was committed to set me free |
| Yes, she put my love in the hands of a judge |
| In the court of the common plea |
| In the court of the common plea |
| Oh, in the court, court of the common plea, darling |
| The judge’s choice did me great harm |
| 'Cause I knew I had done no wrong |
| Yes, he broke my heart, he did it needlessly |
| When he set my baby free |
| In the court of, court of the common plea, yeah |
| In the court, court of the common plea |
| I couldn’t believe my eyes |
| When I saw my baby walk away, lord help |
| I couldn’t believe my ears |
| When I know I heard my baby say |
| Do you know what she said? |
| She said, «at last, of you I’m free |
| And though there’s lots of good in you |
| You just ain’t no good for me.» |
| Lord, help me, please |
| Oh, the judge’s choice did me great harm |
| 'Cause I knew I had done no wrong |
| Oh, he broke my heart needlessly |
| When he set my woman free |
| Oh, lord |
| The court of the common plea |
| Yeah, yeah, oh, oh |
| In the court of the common plea |
| Pleading won’t help you, children |
| In the court of the common plea |
| Oh, court of the common plea |
| I’m gonna plea one time |
| I need my children |
| Don’t you hurt me |
