It was love at first sight, everything was right,
I didn't know he had another life with the kid and wife
And he bought me a ring and he bought us both the same cars
What started out as a simple love affair
End it with someone inside electric chair
And the same man that she was in love with is now in love with me
A didn't mean to hurt her could have been somebody's mom
But she took his heart with she pulled out that gun
Ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, man down
Ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, man down

Mama, mama, mama I just show a man down
In central station in front of a big whole croud
Why, why?
Oh mama, mama, mama, I just shot a man down

I can't imagine what I'd do if I were in her shoes
Cause if he did this to me I'd probably kill him too
Cause if he'd play me for a fool I'd probably loose my cool
And reach for my firearm
I wish she didn't lay him down but it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what she was thinking but I know what she was feeling
And now he's no longer around
I didn't mean to hurt him, could have been somebody's son
But she took his heart with when she pulled out that gun
Ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, man down
Ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, man down

Mama, mama, mama I just show a man down
In central station in front of a big whole croud
Why, why?
Oh mama, mama, mama, I just shot a man down
Forgive me now

I never thought she'd do it, I never thought she'd do it, I never thought she'd do it, oh gosh
Why ever do she do it? Why ever do she do it? why ever do she do it?
Who do she pulled the trigger, pulled the trigger, pulled this trigger, boom
And end this, end this life so soon
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom
And what you gonna do? Mi say what you gonna do?
Ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam mi say one man down, oh god
Ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam mi say one man down
Now you are a criminal, criminal, criminal
Yes you are a criminal, criminal, criminal
He ain't got nobody on the gun when she went out of town
Before it be another one man down
Ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, man down
Ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, ram pa-pa-pam, man down

Mama, mama, mama I just show a man down
In central station in front of a big whole croud
Why, why?
Oh mama, mama, mama, I just shot a man down
In central station.
