The Wilburn Brothers - What's Gonna Become of Me lyrics

Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me It was late last night when my woman got home I was waitin' when she sneaked in the door Before that no good woman could tell another lie I shot her with my forty four Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me Now they've got me in jail and they say it's a crime For a man that shoot his woman down If I'd known it was a crime to k** her by the way I'd've threw her in the river to drown Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me ( banjo ) I've heard all the talk and it don't sound good I wish I'd never heard what they said They said that a new rope is too good for me So they'll hang me with an old rope instead Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me The shadows from the bars and the window rolled on There's just one more tomorrow for me To look out my window makes my blood run cold cause I can see the hanging tree Po' me po' my what's gonna become of me
