Sit down Mary they don't know what they're talkin' about
Sit down Mary it's only make believe
Sit down Mary don't say those things you're screamin' out
It was me... It was me..

And it was me they saw in the liquor store that night
It was me with a gun on that cashier
And when it went off it was me who took flight
And it was my getaway car they saw disappear...

So blame me if a crime's been done
If they need a reason I'm the one
Blame me

Yes Sir, I left my wife Mary and her kids
Yes Sir, I was a touch out of control
I drugged and drank and gambled, well yes Sir, I did
'Til there wasn't any money to send home

So blame me if a crime's been done
If they need a reason I'm the one
Blame me

What's that you say Sir, there were witnesses
Standing in the shadows that night
And that hold up man running from the liquor store
They say she looked exactly like my wife
Sit down Mary, they don't know
What they're talking about
Sit down Mary, it's only make believe
Sit down Mary, don't say those things
You're screaming out
It was me, it was me, it was me

So blame me if a crime's been done
If they need a reason I'm the one
Blame me

Mary blame me
