| Well, I’m sittin' in the back porch
|
| On the north-west side of town
|
| Picturing last night way up in the city
|
| Where they shot my baby down
|
| She could be dyin', oh, oh, no
|
| Well, it can’t much matter to you
|
| I found her lyin', yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| Near the ball park down at school
|
| The sheriff came on to question my brother
|
| I could have dropped down through the floor
|
| Before I could turn round, he was runnin' for cover
|
| Like a billy goat through the door
|
| She could be dyin', oh, oh, no
|
| Well, it can’t much matter to you
|
| I found her lyin', yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| Near the ball park down at school
|
| Hold on, baby, I need you, honey
|
