8 Men And 4 Women
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I dreamed that love was a crime
I was alone, so lonely and blue
You know why? Because eight men and four women, Lord
They found me guilty of loving you
As they were taking me away
You were taking, I saw you when you were taking the witness stand
You know what? I heard the lawyer when he asked you, my love
"Do you really love that man?"
It was eight men and four women
How could they be so blind
How could they call me guilty?
And called true love a crime
Guilty Guilty Guilty
But a tear rolled down my cheek
I felt so sorry for you
You know why?
Because in my heart I knew, oh yes, baby I knew
That they would find you guilty too
Judge, your honor and to the jury
I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are innocent
And true love is not a crime
