She drank my money then she blew me out
When I was mad for her she blew me out
She’s in the club and she’s accusing me
Of all the men she is accusing me

Oh, I didn’t do it, I did not do it
She never let me get round to it
I didn’t do it, I did not do it
We never even got down to it

It’s the name of the game for me
It’s always the same for me
It’s the name of the game for me
Can Trinity set me free ?
‘Cause taking the blame
Is the name of the game for me
They know it’s a shame
They never explain, oh taking the blame
Is the name of the game for me

Somebody pour another glass of champagne
Before they come to t-t-take me away
The F.B.I. and C.I.A. they say
I shot the sheriff and I shot him today

Oh, but I didn’t do it, I did not do it
They know they’re making too much of it
I didn’t do it, I did not do it
I didn’t even do the deputy in

Here comes the judge outside a bottle of gin
He ain’t too happy with the way that I’ve been
They locked me down, down in a hole in the ground
And then they swallowed ev’ry key in the town

Oh, I didn’t do it, I did not do it
I think they’re making too much of it
I didn’t do it, I did not do it
I say they’re making too much of it
