Don't Blame Me

[Verse 1] Hear my story and listen well Truth is in all that I tell It could never have been me I not shoot no deputy Mr. Grant, the deputy Friend to my whole family He always tell me when John Brown Was getting ready to come around [Chorus] Don't blame me Don't blame me [Verse 2] I hide it all except a few seeds And make him think I plant for me When Mr. Grant and I know all the while We've got enough for the whole island Three years now we sell it in town Under the bucket that goes down No one knew of it but three Mr. Grant, Davis and me [Chorus] Don't blame me Don't blame me [Verse 3] I swear by God, it is a plot Davis sent me here to rot Listen people, can't you see Mr. Davis shot the deputy [Outro] Don't blame me Don't blame me Don't blame me Don't blame me Don't blame me...
