I didn't mean to end his life I know it wasn't right I can't even sleep at night Can't get it off my mind I need to get out of sight Before I end up behind bars What started out as a simple altercation Turned into a real sticky situation Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing Makes me wanna cry 'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Man down Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Man down oh mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why, oh why Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue When she fits right down in my shoes What you expect me to do If you're playing me for a fool I will lose my cool And reach for my fire arm I didn't mean to lay him down But it's too late to turn back now Don't know what I was thinking Now he's no longer living So I'm 'bout to leave town 'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Man down Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Man down oh mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why, oh why Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station Look, I never thought I'd do it Never thought I'd do it Never thought I'd do it, oh gosh What ever happened to me Ever happened to me, ever happened to me Why did I pull the trigger Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom And end a nigga, end a niggas life so soon When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it 'pon you Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Me say wah man down (A weh me say) Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam Rum pa pa pam When me went downtown 'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal Oh lord have mercy now I am a criminal Man down Tell the judge please give me minimal Run out of town, None of them can see me now, see me now Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why, oh why Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station
