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

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

So blame me

If a crime's been done

If they need a reason I'm the one

Blame me

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

So blame me

If a crime's been done

If they need a reason I'm the one

Blame me

Mary blame me
