Lee," the sargeant said to me, "acting on my discretion
It is my solemn duty to arrest you on suspicion"
They put me in a carriage, I was driven many miles
They locked me in a prison cell to await my trial

John 'Babbacombe' Lee
John 'Babbacombe' Lee

The man who'd defend me was ill and couldn't come
His brother came to lend me help and ?a dupe? I was undone
"Do just what you want with me, I don't have a choice
You'd do as well without me as I'm not allowed to use my voice"

The judge sits high and mighty and he asks me who I am
The robes he wears impress me but he looks a kindly man
"To all who've come to see me, for those that'd prove me guilty
May the joker hear your call and show you all more mercy"

John 'Babbacombe' Lee
John 'Babbacombe' Lee

John 'Babbacombe' Lee
John 'Babbacombe' Lee

The trial was quickly over and my head was full of pain
I was slowly going crazy with the same story over again
I was tired and aching, I was standing half asleep
All I wanted was to take the weight from off my feet

John 'Babbacombe' Lee
John 'Babbacombe' Lee

The jury filed in slowly while we waited their command
"Courage, John, you're helpless and you are in heaven's hand"
John Lee's not scared of dying, there's a smile in all you'll find
Cradled in a deep sleep with a perfect peace of mind

I cannot blame the jury, on the evidence they heard
It seemed that I was guilty, hanged by too many words
I ?spied a couple of? people so I told them what it meant
I trust the Lord in heaven and he knows I'm innocent

John 'Babbacombe' Lee
John 'Babbacombe' Lee

  • I Dont Know Where I Stand
    "Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
    Sunny day, braiding white flowers and leaves in my hair
    Picked up a pencil and wrote 'I love you' in my finest hand
    Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand..."
  • Percys Song
    "Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep"
    Turn, turn, turn again

    Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind..."
  • Time Will Show the Wiser
    "My mind keeps on telling me that this is no good
    And my heart is aching, that tells me I should
    But only time will show the wiser
    I've fallen in love with a girl that's not mine..."
  • If (Stomp)
    "If I were rich enough
    To make you need me as much as I need you
    If I could pitch enough
    You'd realise what a little country bread can do..."
  • Decameron
    "She doesn't see the day to day
    No colours where the children play
    She doesn't see the things she's sown
    White crosses painted on the door..."
  • Jack ODiamonds
    "Jack O'Diamonds, on the move
    Jack O'Diamonds, one-eyed knave
    On the move, hits the street
    Bumps his head, on the ground..."

    "Woke up big this Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard
    Was a song outside my window
    And the traffic wrote the words
    It came ringing up like Christmas bells..."
  • Sun Shade
    "Dying's not easy today
    Trying but can't get away
    Feel just the almost touch of her hand and the trees in her hair
    ?Lies float? the sun, she saw only me in the sky..."
