Brief Encounter

I was lookin’ for a sandwich, Judge,
Any old thing to eat.
I was walkin’ down de street, Judge,
Lookin’ for any old thing to eat—
When I come across that woman
That I didn’t want to meet.

Judge, she is de woman
That put de mix on me.
She is de woman, Judge,
That put de mix on me.
If there’s anybody on this earth, Judge,
I didn’t want to see!

Fact that I hurt her, Judge,
De fact that she is dead,
Fact that I hurt her,
Fact that she is dead—
She was de wrongest thing, Judge,
That I ever had!
