Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me
|
It was late last night when my woman got home
|
I was waitin' when she sneaked in the door
|
Before that no good woman could tell another lie I shot her with my forty four
|
Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me
|
Now they've got me in jail and they say it's a crime
|
For a man that shoot his woman down
|
If I'd known it was a crime to kill her by the way
|
I'd've threw her in the river to drown
|
Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me

I've heard all the talk and it don't sound good I wish I'd never heard what they said
|
They said that a new rope is too good for me
|
So they'll hang me with an old rope instead
|
Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me
|
The shadows from the bars and the window rolled on
|
There's just one more tomorrow for me
|
To look out my window makes my blood run cold cause I can see the hanging tree
|
Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me
|
