'Slow down Mr Officer, I'm not looking for a fight you see.
Slow down Mr Officer, I'm not looking for a fight you see.
But sir, Mr Officer, you have only just arrived.
So sir, Mr Officer, how will you know just what happened tonight?'
'Slow down Mr Officer, I am sure that I can help.
Oh sir, Mr Officer, that boy has just arrived himself.
Oh sir, Mr Officer, he won't know what to say,
so sir, Mr Officer, there's no need to take him away...'
'No sir, Mr Officer, I won't go home to bed,
'cause sir, Mr Officer, after this, you'll go home to bed.
But sir, Mr Officer, that boy's in jail tonight
and though he is innocent, he could be facing the jail for life.'
'Slow down Mr Officer, slow down Mr Officer,
I'm not looking for a fight sir.
Slow down Mr Officer, slow down Mr Officer,
what has happened tonight, sir?'
'Oh sir, Mr Officer, I wish I hadn't seen
the sight of a guilty man, with no remorse showing in him.
And sir, Mr Officer, I wish I could erase
the sound of a dying boy, praying for God to end his pain.'
'So sir, Mr Officer, I tell you honestly,
that boy who you've taken in is not the guilty man you seek.
But sir, Mr Officer, if you pervert the course,
one dead, one imprisoned, but two boys will lose their lives by force.
