<br>
CONLEY<br>
He tol' me to watch the door,<br>
"Watch the door" - that's what he said.<br>
That's what he said - I should make sure<br>
No one came and interrupted.<br>
Well, I'd say once or twice a month,<br>
He'd tell me, "Jim you watch the door -<br>
I got a lady comin'.<br>
I got a lady comin':"<br>
Like I said, once or twice a month,<br>
There'd be a lady come to call<br>
And he'd say, "Jim, you watch the door,"<br>
That's what he said.<br>
And once, I remember there were two ladies.<br>
Another time, there was this young black gentleman from Chicago:<br>
<br>
ROSSER<br>
Objection!<br>
<br>
DORSEY<br>
All right, then, Jim, will you tell us about the mornin' of April 26th?<br>
<br>
CONLEY<br>
The day of the parade?<br>
He tol' me to watch the door.<br>
"Watch the door," that's what he said.<br>
That's what he said, "I got a girl,<br>
She'll be comin' up to see me,<br>
She's a very pretty girl:"<br>
He said, "Don't let me catch you lookin' at<br>
Miss Mary Perkins."<br>
That's what he called her, I think, uh-huh,<br>
"Miss Mary Perkins."<br>
So when this Mary came to call<br>
I kep' my eyes down to the floor<br>
'Cause Mr. Frank said not to look,<br>
That's what he said.<br>
<br>
Next thing, I hear Mr. Frank is yellin' somethin', <br>
so I run upstairs, and I opens the door, and Mr. Frank looks up.<br>
<br>
He said, "We were playin' a game!<br>
Playin' a game!" That's what he said - <br>
That's what he said, and little Mary's<br>
Kinda crumpled in the corner.<br>
He said, "You don't understand - <br>
She didn't want to play the game,<br>
And so I went and hit her - <br>
You see, I had to hit her."<br>
He told me I should go and look,<br>
He said she's actin' like she's sick,<br>
And I said, "Lawd, that chil' is dead!"<br>
That's what I said!<br>
<br>
And he said, "No! No!<br>
It ain't my fault that girl is dead!"<br>
He said, "No! No!"<br>
That's what he said.<br>
CONLEY (CROWD in brackets)<br>
(That's what he said!)<br>
He said, "No! No!"<br>
And his eyes were wild and his face was red,<br>
He said, "No!" (No!)<br>
"No!" (No!)<br>
That's what he said!<br>
(That's what he said, that's what he<br>
What he said, he said that's,<br>
That's what he said:)<br>
He said, "Gotta get her out - <br>
Let's get her out!" That's what he said. (That's what he said)<br>
And so I found me<br>
This ol' gunny sack and wrapped 'er.<br>
He said, "You're a good boy, Jim - <br>
I know you won't tell no one nothin' - <br>
Here's a hundred dollars!"<br>
(No! It can't be true!)<br>
I got a hundred dollars.<br>
(God! What can we do?)<br>
And so I put her on my back<br>
We took the elevator down.<br>
He said, "Jus' throw her on the ground!"<br>
That's what he said.<br>
(That's what he said.)<br>
Yes, he said<br>
"No!" (No!)<br>
"No!" (No!)<br>
"There ain't no reason I should hang!"<br>
He said, "No!" (No!)<br>
"No!" (No!)<br>
That's what he said!<br>
(That's what he said!)<br>
He said, "No!" (No!)<br>
"No!" (No!)<br>
"There ain't no reason I should hang - <br>
You got money in your pocket and there's plenty more o' that - <br>
I got wealthy friends an' fam'ly, and a wife who's dumb and fat - <br>
I got rich folks out in Brooklyn if I need somewheres to go<br>
And these stupid rednecks never gonna know!"<br>
(Hang 'im!)<br>
"No!"<br>
(Hang 'im!)<br>
"It ain't my fault that girl is dead!" (Hang the Jew!)<br>
He said, "No!" (Hang 'im!)<br>
"No!" (Hang 'im!)<br>
That's what he said! (Make 'im pay!)<br>
He said, "No!" (Get 'im!)<br>
"No!" (Now!)<br>
And his eyes were wild and his face was red<br>
He said, "No!" (Hang 'im!)<br>
(Hang 'im!)<br>
