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
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
Don't blame me
Don't blame 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
Don't blame me
Don't blame me
Don't blame me
Don't blame me

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason, I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Well, now I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your money at home
Somebody must change
You are the reason, I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end
and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
And I can't find my way home
When I can't find my way home
Said, ‽I can't find my way home
When I can't find my way homeâ€
And I ain't done nothing wrong
Said, ‽I can't find my way home
And I can't find my way homeâ€
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason, I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Well, now I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and
leave your money at home
Somebody must change
You are the reason, I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
And I can't find my way home
When I can't find my way home
Said, “I can't find my way home
When I can't find my way home”
And I ain't done nothing wrong
Said, “I can't find my way home
And I can't find my way home”
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason i've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.
But i'm near the end and i just ain't got the time
And i'm wasted and i can't find my way home.
Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason i've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.
Chorus
But i can't find my way home.
But i can't find my way home.
But i can't find my way home.
But i can't find my way home.
Still i can't find my way home,
And i ain't done nothing wrong,
But i can't find my way home.

Come down on your own and leave your body alone

Chorus
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
But I can't find my way home
How to Format Lyrics:
- Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
- Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
- Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
- Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
- If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
