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 de 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 de maid
downstairs, Agatha
she gonna be glad to testify for me.

I tell him,

Your Honour, I was inside de 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 de court has made dis 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 de 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
