歌曲歌詞
All rise for the Honorable Judge Burrell
This court is called to order
These charges are serious
Stand up and face the bench
How do you plead sir how do you plead
Guilty as charged the Judge decreed stand up and face the bench
I have some words to say to you before we recommence
A list of crimes this serious I swear I have not seen
In all the years that I have served
Her Majesty the Queen
Arson murder blackmail grand larceny and theft
Drug dealing human trafficking I ask the court what's left
Are there words of mitigation before I pass the sentence
Anything that you can tell the court to add to your defense
I faced the court thought long and hard before I gave reply
There's something that you need to hear from me before I die
The circumstances of my birth were something short of bliss
I have this from my mother it was told to me like this
The day that I was born she said
The good Lord woke from slumber
Looking 'round his timber yard
He found he had no lumber
Apart from some old twisted branch in shadows left to lurk
He pulled it out into the light and set about his work
She told me that the world should not expect too much of me
When the good Lord carved my crooked soul out of a crooked tree
When the good Lord carved my crooked soul out of a crooked tree
Stand up and face the bench
I've heard all you've got to say
That there look on your face says you're guilty
And now it's your judgment day
I'm not asking for forgiveness
I'm not proud of what I've done
I did the things I had to do like any other mother's son
None of us are perfect so remember what you see
When the good lord carved this crooked soul out of a crooked tree
