Man Down sing and play along

I didn't mean to end his life,

I know it wasn't right, I can't even sleep at night,

can't get it off my mind.

I need to get out of sight 'fore I end up behind bars.

What started out as a simple altercation,

turned into a real sticky situation.

Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing makes me want to cry.

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him,

could have been somebody's son.

And I took his heart when

I pulled out that gun.

Rum ba ba bom rum ba ba bom rum ba ba bom.

Man down.

Rum ba ba bom rum ba ba bom rum ba ba bom.

Man down.

Mama, Mama, Mama, I just shot a man down

in Central Station.

In front of a big old crowd.

Oh, why?

Oh, why?

Oh, Mama, Mama, Mama, I just shot a man down

in Central It's a twenty two,

I call her Peggy Sue.

When she fits right down in my shoes,

what d'you expect me to do?

If you're playing me for a fool,

I will lose my cool and reach for my firearm.

I didn't mean to lay him down but it's too late to turn back now.

Don't know what I was thinking,

now he's no longer living so I'm 'bout to leave town.

Yeah. shot a man down Will you hear me now?

in Cen Look, tral I never thought I'd do it,

never thought I'd do it, never thought I'd do it,

oh gosh.

Whatever happened to me, ever happened to me,

ever happened to me?

Why did I pull the trigger,

pull the trigger, pull the trigger?

Boom. And end a nigger, end a nigger's life so soon.

When I pull the trigger, pull the trigger,

pull it on you, somebody tell me what I'm gonna,

what I'm gonna do, hey.

Rum ba ba bom rum ba ba bom rum ba ba bom,

me say one man down, oh,

Rum ba ba bom rum ba ba bom rum ba ba bom,

when me went down town.

'Cause now I am a criminal,

criminal, criminal.

Oh, Lord, have mercy, now I am a criminal.

Man down, tell the judge, please give me minimal,

run out of town, none of them can see me now,

see me now.

Mama, Mama, Mama, I just shot a man down

in Central Station.

In front of a big old crowd.

Oh, why?
