It was a cold November day, everyone said it would rain But I clearly remember it shining His old lady passed away, everyone felt his pain But I stood there feeling angry I read the message that you left me How could I miss it when it's stuck right to my door? And I resent the way you tried to frame me You put that bullet in her heart And now this is haunting me Don't blame me, I wasn't there at the time Don't blame me, it wasn't my gun you found Don't blame me, I haven't got blood on my hands As the procession led her away, some people stood and stared And it almost sent me reeling I thought of ways to clear my name, remove myself from blame But I still found myself running I read the message that you left me How could I miss it when it's stuck right to my door? And I resent the way you tried to frame me You put that bullet in her heart And now this is haunting me Don't blame me, I wasn't there at the time Don't blame me, it wasn't my gun you found Don't blame me, I haven't got blood on my hands Well, I remember her final wish, I won't let you be guilty of this As she lay in my arms dying Go to the cellar box room and there you'll find the proof Where there is more than one lady lying So, I left a message at the courtroom And I explained what I seen back in that house And I told them no one else should chase me Well, I had proved my name was good and God will watch over me Don't blame me, I wasn't there at the time Don't blame me, it wasn't my gun you found Don't blame me, I haven't got blood on my hands Don't blame me, I wasn't there at the time Don't blame me, it wasn't my gun you found Don't blame me, I haven't got blood on my hands
