I was walking down the sidewalk With my coat strung over my back When a car pulled up beside me A big black Cadillac A man said, "Son, have you seen a man with a gun? He's got a scar across his eye Looks a little like me, a real mean one" I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" He said, "Son, if you're lying You'll never leave this town alive Gonna fit you concrete overshoes And you're gonna take a dive" The car pulled away and I ran off So afraid I wanted to cry When a man jumped out of the doorway He had a scar across his eye He said, "Son, have you seen a big black Cadillac? With a man in the front looks a bit like me And two more in the back" I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" He said, "Son, if you're lying You'll never leave this town Wherever you run, I'll find you And then I'll gun you down" He ran one way and I ran the other Nearly bit clean through my lip When I bumped into a policeman With a six-gun on his hip He said, "Son have you seen a big black Cadillac? With one man in the front and two more in the back Or a man with a scar" I said, "I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Stop, I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Stop, I ain't seen nothing I ain't seen nothing at all" I said, "Stop, I ain't seen nothing I don't want to get involved"
