Knockin' on yo' door
Now you done got yourself in trouble
An now you got to go
Lady, please don’t kill nobody
Go ahead an have your way
Lady, please don’t kill nobody
Go ahead an have your way
But the day you kill somebody
I’ll lock you up that day
Please lady, please lady
Please treat ev’rybody right

Please don’t be no murder’er
Please take my advise
'Play that thing, boy'
