Translation
Bilingual
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 behind bars
What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking about the time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his life when
I pulled out the 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 ol' crowd
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, mama, mama, mama, I just shot a man down
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 play me for a fool
And I will lose my cool
And reach for my firearm
I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
I don't know what I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm 'bout to lay him down
Said I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his life when
I pulled out the 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 ol' crowd
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, mama, mama, mama, I just shot a man down
Said I never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it, oh gosh
Whatever 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 I, and I laugh 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
Say, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
Me say one man down
A wah me say?
Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
When we went downtown
'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh Lord have mercy, now I am a criminal
Man down
Please tell the judge that you see me now
Run outta town, anyone can see me now, eh
ย
Some of the man, some of the man
They like to hit and run, eh
Some of the man, they like to hit and run
Some of the man, some of the man
They like to hit and run, eh
Some of the man, they like to hit and run, eh
Eh, eh, some of the man down
Eh, eh, 'cause a man down
Eh, eh, there's a man down
A man down, a man down
Eh, coulda been somebody's son, eh
That's why I pulled the gun, eh
Coulda been somebody's son, eh
That's why I pulled the gun, eh
Eh, there's a man down
Eh, eh, there's a man down
Eh, eh, there's a man down
A man down, a man down
