lyrics

I was robbed last night, and I lost everything I owned,
I was robbed last night, and I lost everything I owned,
And I like to a cried like a baby, when I saw what gone.
The window was broken, and the lock was gone from the door,
The window was broken, and the lock was gone from the door,
All they left me was the lights a burnin', and the tile on the floor.
The landlady told me, she saw two strange men around,
The landlady she told me, she saw two strange men around,
Said one was short and nasty,
and the other one weighed least three pounds.
I was robbed last night, lost everything I had,
I was robbed last night, lost everything I had,
I know I been evil, sometime in my life, but I ain't never been that bad.
