BLIND JUSTICE

An Original Tune (click!)

I found myself one morning

 In a court of law and land

Upon that ‘ol worn bible

Did I place there my right hand

I cannot lie I’ll tell the truth

Cause I’ve got no alibi

I’m guilty as the night is long

And now I’ll tell you why 

I woke up without my baby

Oh my heart was filled with dread

He left earlier that morning

Snuck right up out of my bed

He took his moving trunk  away with him

Left nothing but a note

So I set back down and braced myself

And this is what he wrote 

You know I love you baby

But I just got to go

I got to catch the train that’s leaving

I am not your one man show

I been all around this great big world

And I learned a thing or two

And the one thing that I know is this

To mine own self be true

Don’t think too badly of me

I sure meant you no harm

But I threw that letter to the floor

I’d fallen victim to his charm

His promises His poetry

His late night ne’er do well

But I ain’t never had such reverie

He was magic with a spell 

Now I knew for sure I’m not the first

He used so worldly wise

In every state and corner town

You can hear their broken cries  

So I took the matter in my own hand

And raced him to the tracks

And I know for sure there is no doubt

He won’t be coming back 

The judge looked down upon me

The verdict had come in

You’re honor she is innocent

This was no crime or sin

I knew this man and so did I

Each juror said in turn

 

Those cries you hear belong to us

His punishment he earned

So let this be a cautious tale

For those doing someone wrong

For it may not be the law you break

But you’ll pay before too long

There are rules that still apply

For those who steal by night

The fate you seal may be your own

Blind Justice sees it right

Blind Justice sees it right

Blind Justice sees it right
