So I said, officer officer
Maybe I saw something, maybe I didn't
Maybe I shouldn't have lied that day that officer he came on by
Maybe I should never denied ever seeing the man
Maybe I should never denied ever
So I said, officer officer
I promise I never saw that dreadful deed
I said officer I didn't
I didn't see him knocked to the floor
I didn't see them stick that gun to his head
Or stick that knife into his leg
And the officer, he said
I didn't say nothing about no knife
And I said oh
And the officer he said oh
Maybe I saw something, maybe I didn't
Maybe I did it and maybe I didn't
Maybe I shouldn't have lied that day that officer he came on by
And now it's too late
My head is in a noose and my feet are on a chair
And there's hacks and there's hacks and they're everywhere
