Every time I see him walking, he’s walking slow
And every night when he walks home I watch him when he goes
He’s never weary, never tired, his head does not hang low
Just keeps a steady pace to keep on getting down the road
Last night I saw him stop
Not what he usually does
He reached into his pocket
For something I don’t trust
He lifted up his hands
That’s when I ran outside
I begged him, “Please, don’t go”
But he looked at me and cried
“Girl, just let me die”
I helped him down to his knees
And took the gun away
I told him, if he’s dying
Maybe he ought to pray
But he shot me down that day
I ran to help a man who shot me dead
He went to have some children and a wife
Never did get caught for cold blooded murder
But it’s fine because my blood did save his life
My blood did save his life
He will remember all that came
Of a smoking gun in a hand that shakes
His hair stands up on the back of his neck
When he thinks in the night of a face
All flecked with blood
Flecked with blood
