Just me playing some acoustic folk tunes
Hello. My name is Paul Heath. I'm a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer (submarine type) who is just trying to get a few tunes heard. Hope you like it!
Lyrics
I'm gonna tell you a story and I hope you listen good
About the meanest damn woman in this whole neighborhood
She was a fine looking thing but her heart it was cold as ice
Well, I fell for her charms and her beautiful eyes
But I was soon a prisoner to her wicked lies
Now I don't know if I will ever get away
Well I was sitting on a fence, trying to decide
Which way to go, which way to ride
I was thinking about all the things that I wanted to say
Well, she came up to me and gave me her hand
She said Hey Baby you are my lover man
Everything stopped and soon I was locked away
I was a prisoner to her beauty, blind to her lies
She was lying and cheating right under my eyes
I thought I was in heaven just a beautiful day
She lied and she cheated all over town
I looked like a fool she made me her clown
I'm just a prisoner, won't you help me get away
I'm Just a prisoner, lord, I gotta get away.
Break
The judge said Son, this is cut and dried
I know that you killed her cause she cheated and lied
I don't really blame you, but you went too far.
You gotta pay for your actions, well, you gotta die
I'm gonna send you right back to that evil woman's side
Now I don't think I will ever get away
Well this story is all over and I'm growing old
Sitting in a cell just getting ready to go
I don't know if it was worth it, thats not for me to say
A 44 magnum, she went out with a smile
All I got left is to walk that green mile
No, I don't think I will ever get away
I was a prisoner to her beauty, blind to her lies
She was lying and cheating right under my eyes
I thought I was in heaven just a beautiful day
She lied and she cheated all over town
I looked like a fool she made me her clown
I'm just a prisoner, won't you help me get away
I'm Just a prisoner, lord, I gotta get away.
