Oh lord, anybody see my trial grieves for I
Why lord I was badly beaten, found by loved ones
Battered by an irate husband
Searching for a man that wasn't I
When we reached the court we garn inside,
The hand of justice shall preside
Over this case the trial shall begin
Your honour I was inside the closet
Minding I and I own business
Your honour it was a complete stranger
Causing these disturbances
Him claims of me touching him wife
Which is a wicked and awful lie
Me two hands 'em was occupied
Me shirt's in me left
And me pants in me right
Me hand 'em was occupied
Me shirt's in me left
And me pants in me right
Dear Judge, can this court accept my story from me heart?
Why Judge, if by chance you don't believe this tale
Ask him why she will not fail to agree I was a better man than he
Just in case she refuse to answer, ask the maid
Downstairs, Agatha
She gonna be glad to testify for me
I tell him,
Your honour, I was inside the closet
Mindin' I and I own business
Your honour, it was a complete stranger
Causing these disturbances
Him claims I'm a touching him wife
Which is a wicked an awful lie
Me two hand 'em was occupied
Me shirt's in me left
And me pants in me right
Me hand 'em was occupied
Me shirt's in me left
And me pants in me right
Silence silence
Dear corporal,
As you lock me in this prison pray for I
Please corporal,
Please don't leave me here to wonder
Why the court has made this blunder
Grabbed me for a crime that wasn't fair,
Corporal when you goin' to send me dinner
Send your mother or your sister
One more day of this I cannot bear
Hear me now
Your honour I was inside the closet
Minding I and I own business
Your honour it was a complete stranger
Causing these disturbances
Him claims of me touching him wife
Which is a wicked and awful lie
Me two hands 'em was occupied
Me shirt's in me left
And me pants in me right
Me hand 'em was occupied
Me shirt's in me left
And me pants in me right
