Don't Blame Me Lyrics - Eric Clapton

Hear my story and listen well; 

Truth is in all that I tell. 

It could never have been me. 

I did not shoot no deputy. 

Mr. Grant, the deputy, 

Friend to my whole family. 

He always tell me when John Brown 

Was getting ready to come around. 

Don't blame me. 

Don't blame me.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I hide it all except a few seeds 

And make him think I plant for me. 

When Mr. Grant and I know all the while 

We've got enough for the whole island. 

Three years now we sell it in town 

Under the bucket that goes down. 

No one knew of it but three: 

Mr. Grant, Davis and me.

I swear by God it is a plot; 

Davis sent me here to rot. 

Listen people, can't you see 

Mr. Davis shot the deputy.
