Yes your honor I swear today to tell nothing but the truth
This courts gonna hear all about an evil girl named Ruth
I’ll plead guilty to loving her as much as any guy could
The love I gave to that girl judge was more than any man should
Yes your honor my heart was true
When the skies were grey or blue
Yes your honor I’ll make amends
But this woman and I will never be friends
Evil eyes and lips to match
Though every heart in town
Worshiped nothing but silver and gold
Saw her through the eyes of a clown
Sentence me to a hundred years
Put bars in front of my face
She did me wrong for oh so long
Feel so bad gotta leave this place
Yes your honor my heart was true
When the skies were grey or blue
Yes your honor I’ll make amends
But this woman and I will never be friends
I plead guilty to loving her as much as any guy could
The love I gave to that girl judge was more than any man should
The judge in black looked down at me
Just as kind as he could be
No jury would convict you son
I’m gonna set you free
Yes your honor my heart was true
When the skies were grey or blue
Yes your honor I’ll make amends
But this woman and I will never be friends
Yes your honor my heart was true
When the skies were grey or blue
Yes your honor I’ll make amends
But this woman and I will never be friends
