Intro: (3x)
The shoe-shine was cool
He d sussed out the scene
Scratch was nobody s fool
He d always come clean
If this was a frame-up
Who built the frame?
Was this the big pay-off
Or some crapulous game
I know you think I m going thru it
But babe don t weep I didn t do it
The light was dim, I never knew it s a sin
To drink ....cold tea
That pig he was rough
Trailed us right round the block
Enid stashed all her stuff
Behind the grandfather clock
If this was the show-down
Who wrote the show?
Was he the big con-man
Or some cadaverous crow
I know you think I m going thru it
But babe don t weep I didn t do it
The light was dim, I never knew it s a sin
To drink ....cold tea
Acoustic solo
I know you think I m going thru it
But babe don t weep I didn t do it
The light was dim, I never knew it s a sin
To drink ....cold tea
I never knew its a sin
You know the light was so dim
I never knew its a sin
You know the light was so dim
