Wishin' She Was Here (instead Of Me) lyrics

I've stole that money for my baby I've shot that man who shot at me She wasn't even in the courtroom and I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me Now Lord you know that I ain't yellow but she's out there running fancy free A lovin' up some other fellow and I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me [ guitar ] I've stole that money for my honey I dressed her like a Christmas tree Now she won't even write a letter and I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me In three more days they're gonna hang me now I've got it coming out at me Oh with my last breath they'll hear me holler Lord I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me Well I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me
