[00:13.00]Policemen shot my baby as he crossed right over my doorstep
[00:20.16]Policemen shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep
[00:26.00]His arms were so close you could see the blood pulsing through both his wrists
[00:29.66]Don’t tell me the cops are right in a wrong like this
[00:32.79]Cause policemen shot my baby as he crossed right over my doorstep
[00:38.53]
[00:39.90]I was taught we must be grateful for the time that we are here
[00:44.52]In the world
[00:47.07]To accept death as beyond our heads and be bitter no more
[00:52.19]
[00:52.75]But if you found your first joy in life in the arms of a man
[00:56.38]Don’t tell me you wouldn’t curse the god that made your hands
[00:59.74]When policemen shot your baby crossing right over your doorstep
[01:05.11]
[01:07.10]Policemen shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep
[01:13.53]Policemen shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep
[01:19.58]His arms were so close you could see the blood pulsing through both his wrists
[01:23.14]Don’t tell me the cops are right in a wrong like this
[01:26.44]Cause policemen shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep
[01:31.63]
[01:33.82]In my life I never met a guy who was a better man
[01:38.05](How sad that she doesn’t understand how)
[01:40.49]Oh so gentle with his woman and with two feet on the ground
[01:44.54](Just as solid as he sounds)
[01:46.17]
[01:46.48]And I felt my first joy in life with my head on his chest
[01:49.98]Then his trouble came from looking out for all the rest
[01:53.16]Policemen shot my baby crossing right over my doorstep
[01:59.15]
[02:00.83]Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na, Sha-na-na
[02:02.09]Oo-wo-oo-wo-oo-woo

[02:25.53]
[02:26.84]Well, I’ve tried so hard to be a peaceful, loving woman
[02:33.08]Oh, I believed that love and understanding were the way
[02:39.95]Oh, but how many gone before you listen to the cries
[02:46.38]With my dead heart, how do I find my way through the truth and all the lies
[02:54.26]
[02:54.44]Policemen shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep

[03:07.03]Policemen shot my baby as he crossed over my doorstep
