Murder Shuffle in A (Minor)

Oh I killed a man behind the county line
For layin' his hands on a woman, I knew as mine
And I dripped his body, once so fine, Over a bar wide like a close line
OH I didn't use a knife. I didn't use a gun
I used my bare hands and I said to him son
Hey remember that girl, Messed up real good.
Well you didn't think I'd find it. But I knew I would

OH wo oh oh.

Well I put my hands on him. Like he did on her
And I made him scream, till his lungs burst
Well I didn't mean to kill him but I couldn't see
I was blacked out in anger and forgot to flee
Well the cop he pulled me over not too far down the road
He said son you're breaking every law I know.
And hey why your hands so shaky and covered in blood?
Well I didn't mean to kill him though I said I would

OH wo oh oh.

And he pulled me out the car. And threw me to the ground.
He said even lost souls someday get found.
And he pulled the cold barrel from my warm head.
He said I'd have done the same to make sure he was dead.
So we buried his body in a dried up creek bed.
Couldn't find a shovel, so we used his hand.
And sergeant looked at me and said boy what ya think?
Pulled a flask out his boot. Need it, here have a drink.
Oh wooh oh.

Oh that's my tale about revenge tWas mine.
Oh eye for an eye was necessary this time.
And I hope its told, time and time again.
Lay your hands a woman be the greatest sin
No there aint no excuse, No greater no,
Oh, lie to me son, Im calling your bluff.
Oh next time your mad, better use your head.
Or me and the sergeant make sure that you're dead.

Oh wooh oh.
