• I did not kill my lovely wife.
    I did not slash her with a knife.
    I did not bonk her on the head.
    I did not know that she was dead.

    I stayed at home that fateful night.
    I took a cab, then took a flight.
    The bag I had was just for me.
    My bag. My bag. Hey, leave it be.

    When I came home, I had a gash.
    My hand was cut from broken glass.
    I cut my hand on broken glass.
    A broken glass did cause that gash.

    I have nothing, nothing to hide.
    My friend he took me for a ride.
    Did you take this person's life?
    Did you do it with a knife?

    I did not do it with a knife.
    I did not, could not kill my wife.
    I did not do this awful crime.
    I could not, would not anytime.

    Did you hit her from above?
    Did you drop this bloody glove?
    I did not hit her from above.
    I cannot even wear that glove.

    I did not do it with a knife.
    I did not, could not kill my wife.
    I did not do this awful crime.
    I could not, would not anytime.

    And now I'm free, I can return
    To my small house, for which I yearn,
    And to family whom I love.
    So now I'm free, give back my glove.
