I didn't mean to end his life I know it wasn't right I can't even sleep at night Can't get it off my mind I need to get out of sight Before I end up behind bars What started out as a simple altercation Turned into a real sticky situation Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing Makes me wanna cry 'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Man down Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Man down mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why, oh why Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue When she fits right down in my shoes What you expect me to do If you're playing me for a fool I will lose my cool And reach for my fire arm I didn't mean to lay him down But it's too late to turn back now Don't know what I was thinking Now he's no longer living So I'm 'bout to leave town 'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Man down Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Man down mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why, oh why Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station Look, I never thought I'd do it Never thought I'd do it Never thought I'd do it, oh gosh What ever happened to me Ever happened to me, ever happened to me Why did I pull the trigger Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom And end a nigga, end a niggas life so soon When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it 'pon you Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Me say wah man down (A weh me say) Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum When me went downtown 'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal Oh lord have mercy now I am a criminal Man down Tell the judge please give me minimal Run out of town, None of them can see me now, see me now Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why, oh why Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station

I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night
Can't get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight
Before I end up behind bars



What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun

Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Man down
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Man down

mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big old crowd
Oh why, oh why
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station

It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
What you expect me to do
If you're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool
And reach for my fire arm

I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm 'bout to leave town

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun


Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Man down
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Man down

mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big old crowd
Oh why, oh why
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station

Look, I never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it, oh gosh
What ever happened to me
Ever happened to me, ever happened to me
Why did I pull the trigger
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom
And end a nigga, end a niggas life so soon
When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it 'pon you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do

Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Me say wah man down (A weh me say)
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
When me went downtown

'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh lord have mercy now I am a criminal
Man down
Tell the judge please give me minimal
Run out of town,
None of them can see me now, see me now

Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big old crowd
Oh why, oh why
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
