Johanna
tottered
out of the
dark park
Continually screaming for help
Someone called a cop
Who remarked to that job
She’s bleeding like a stuck pig
Johanna
was in need
of a doctor
The cop routinely handled the case
What did happen to you
Say you have to get through
Tell me all that happened to you
He
just made
a grab at
my bag
Well, he got a kick right on his leg
He started striking me in the face
Ain’t no chance to get out of that place
We’ve been living together
She
told the
cop the name
of Jack Carson
She said that he was right out of cash
He’s no longer my friend
This must come to an end
Yes I hope they’ll take him to jail
Jack
Carson’s
case was
tried on
indictment
Of larceny and of common assult
Now Johanna was strong
Tried to prove the charge wrong
To the best of my recollection
Don’t
know whether
he is that
man
Your Honour I’m doing all that I can
It was so dark I just couldn’t see
Believe me, Jack has got to be free
‘Cause you’re no better than him
