Who Shot John - Chuck Prophet

They say I shot Montgomery shot him in the chest
It never went to trial Montgomery confessed
They say possession is still nine-tenths of the law
Well what possessed you to ask me who shot John
Eddy got probation went out and robbed a bank
While out at the end of Jackson Fatty walked the plank
I can hear him laughing still on the seventh floor
Eddy wrote me a letter and asked me who shot John
Eddy dropped a kite from prison told me who shot John
I went out last Sunday ran into Cyril
He said I seen your friend Johnny out running with your girl
They were in the backseat so I climbed into the front
And in all of the commotion tell me who shot John
There wasn't anybody there to witness who shot John
Have you seen my baby I ain't seen her around
They say I shot my baby they say I shot her down
She was here for a little while but now my baby she gone
They've yet to find the body or who shot John
There's some mistakes that I don't make tell me who shot John
Well the truth is out there somewhere who shot John
I think I'm gonna start a rumor that you shot John
Hold me in your arms and tell me who shot John
Put another log on the fire who shot John
I hear they're gonna make a movie
Well one more thing who shot John
