MARTHA cPat Flanakin
Martha I lie in the street din'
Over my head a yellow moon
Honey, I hope you won't be cryin'
For I won't be there for you
Martha tonight I tried to rob a man
I wanted to end our poverty
No I didn't see the gun he had in his hand
When he stole my life from me
Oh say a prayer for me, Martha
Oh say a prayer for me Martha
BREAK
Martha my wife, I love you
I'm sorry for what I could not be
And all of the things I couldn't give you
Oh please don't weep for me
Oh say a prayer for me, Martha
Oh say a prayer for me, Martha
Oh say a prayer for me, Martha
Oh say a prayer for me, Martha
