Well, I'm sitting in the back porch
On the northwest side of town
Picturing last night way up in the city
Where they shot my baby down
She could be dying, oh, oh, no
Well, it can't much matter to you
I found her lying, yeah, yeah, yeah
Near the ball park down at school
The sheriff came up to question my brother
I could have dropped down through the floor
Before I could turn round
He was running for cover
Like a Billy goat through the door
She could be dying, oh, oh, no
Well, it can't much matter to you
I found her lying, yeah, yeah, yeah
Near the ball park down at school
Hold on, baby, I need your money
Won't you bring yourself around
You gotta help me, help me, mama
I gotta rid this crazy town
She could be dying, oh, oh, no
Well, it can't much matter to you
I found her lying, yeah, yeah, yeah
Near the ball park down at school
The sheriff came up to question my brother
I could have dropped down through the floor
Before I could turn round
He was running for cover
Like a Billy goat through the door
She could be dying, oh, oh, no
Well, it can't much matter to you
I found her lying, yeah, yeah, yeah
Near the ball park down at school
Well, I'm sitting in the back porch
On the northwest side of town
Picturing last night way up in the city

She could be dying, oh, oh, no
Well, it can't much matter to you
