Sit down Mary they don't know what they're talkin' about Sit down Mary it's only make believe Sit down Mary don't say those things you're screamin' out It was me... It was me..
And it was me they saw in the liquor store that night It was me with a gun on that cashier And when it went off it was me who took flight And it was my getaway car they saw disappear...
Chorus So blame me if a crime's been done If they need a reason I'm the one Blame me
Yes Sir, I left my wife Mary and her kids Yes Sir, I was a touch out of control I drugged and drank and gambled, well yes Sir, I did 'Til there wasn't any money to send home
Chorus
What's that you say Sir, there were witnesses Standing in the shadows that night And that hold up man running from the liquor store They say she looked exactly like my wife
Sit down Mary, they don't know What they're talking about Sit down Mary, it's only make believe Sit down Mary, don't say those things You're screaming out It was me, it was me, it was me Chorus Mary blame me.
