Commit A Crime
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'm gonna leave you woman, before I commit a crime
I'm gonna leave you woman, before I commit a crime
You tried so hard to kill me, woman it just was not my time
You put poison in my coffee, instead of milk or cream
You put poison in my coffee, instead of milk or cream
You bout the evilest woman, that I ever seen
You mixed my drinks, with a can of Red Devil lye
You mixed my drinks, with a can of Red Devil lye
Then you sit down, watch me, hopin' that I might die
