There's a man in a suit atmy front door And he's got some paper in his hand Says I got to come down to the station And he hopes I'll take it like a man 'Cause they caught me taking what wasn't mine And it looks like I'll be doin' time
Give me five minutes more To tell my baby goodbye
Well they stood me up in front of a jury And they told me what it was I'd done And the judge said we're finding you guilty I said judge I'm not the guilty one There wasn't anything left I could say 'Cause they sentenced me to ninety days
Give me five minutes more To tell my baby goodbye
Baby I got something to say You know they're gonna put me away It'll only be a matter of days Then I'm coming back to you Coming back to you Coming back to you
Well they're gonna put some walls around me And there's nothin' anyone can do I'm gonna do my time in the county And I hope that time is all that I lose Maybe this won't be so bad Woman don't you look sos sad
Give me five minutes more To tell my baby goodbye Give me five minutes more To tell my baby goodbye Give me five minutes more To tell my baby goodbye Give me five minutes more To tell my baby goodbye
