momma momma momma
it was ricky it was ricky
momma don’t believe that it was ricky who done it
she thinks i killed him
momma momma momma
don’t call the fuzz
it was ricky it was ricky
it was ricky who shot mr. hawkins in the head
little miss lilly hawkins pissed off ricky but ricky didn’t wanna kill lilly
said she was too pretty to kill, that’s what ricky said
momma momma momma
ricky can’t go to jail
he has to help his momma
i know, ricky has gotten in problems before
but he always bail himself out
ricky can’t go to jail
ricky can’t go to jail
sirens sound in the distance
a baby cries from inside a shabby house
mr. hawkins’ blood is pooling on the cement outside his house
coming from the hole in his head
momma momma momma
ricky ran off
i dunno where he go
momma called the fuzz on me
not on ricky
she think it was me who shot ‘im
but it was ricky
momma momma momma
they here
they comin’ for me
tell them it was ricky
it was ricky
some police officers knock on the door of the house
a group of paramedics surround mr. hawkins
i gotta go
i love you momma
don’t tell them i’m gone
tell ’em that
it was ricky
i open the window and jump out
i hit the ground running
past lawrie’s deli
past ricky’s momma’s place
to the old playground
ricky
ricky is sitting on the swing
the gun and mr. hawkins’ blood on his hands
i don’t regret what i done
little miss lilly hawkins deserved it
what
what does she deserve ricky
to live with the fact that it’s her fault her ol’ daddy got killed
ricky ricky ricky
what
you gotta run ricky
you gotta take the gun and run
they coming for you ricky
sirens are coming towards the playground
ricky gets up
i’ll miss you
i’ll miss you too ricky
don’t tell ’em it was me
ricky turns and runs into the woods
behind the swings
don’t fall in the creek ricky
don’t fall in the creek
the sirens stop as a police car pulls up to the playground
two police officers get out, with their hands on their guns
the guns are still in the holsters, at least
sirs, it was ricky
it wasn’t me
ricky got pissed off and shot
little miss lilly hawkins’ daddy
i dunno why
the fuzz ask me where ricky went
i dunno
i thought he would be here
but he ain’t
they ask me again if i’m sure it was ricky
yes
it was ricky
sorry ricky
