Prosecution Blues

Gonna put you down, down, down

I'm gonna lay you softly on the cold hard ground

Gonna put you down, down, down

I'm gonna lay you softly on the cold hard ground, little girl

You know you, you lied and mistreated me

You made me a fool in my own town

I'm gonna put my, gonna put my picture in a window, yeah

And let everybody see what you've done to me

I'm gonna put my, gonna put my picture in a window, yeah

And just let everybody see what you've done to me

I've got tears in my poor eyes

And a trembling that won't let me be

I'm gonna write a, write a letter to the governor, yeah

Hope they charge you with heartache in the first degree, alright

I'm gonna write a letter to the governor, baby

Hope they charge you with heartache in the first degree

And they lock you up in a jail cell

And they just throw away the key

Gonna lay you down, down, down

Gonna lay you softly on the cold hard ground

Oh, you know I'm gonna lay you down, down, down, down, down, yeah

I'm gonna lay you, gonna lay you softly on the cold hard ground, little girl

You know you, you lied and mistreated me

You made me a fool in my own home town, yes you did
