Ricky Nelson - Five Minutes More lyrics

rate me

(J. D. White / A. Delgudico)

There's a man in a suit atmy front door

And he's got some paper in his hand

Says I got to come down to the station

And he hopes I'll take it like a man

'Cause they caught me taking what wasn't mine

And it looks like I'll be doin' time.

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye.

Well they stood me up in front of a jury

And they told me what it was I'd done

And the judge said we're finding you guilty

I said judge I'm not the guilty one

There wasn't anything left I could say

'Cause they sentenced me to ninety days.

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye.

Baby I got something to say

You know they're gonna put me away

It'll only be a matter of days

Then I'm coming back to you

Coming back to you

Coming back to you.

Well they're gonna put some walls around me

And there's nothin' anyone can do

I'm gonna do my time in the county

And I hope that time is all that I lose

Maybe this won't be so bad

Woman don't you look sos sad.

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye.

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye.

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye.

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye...
