Caril Ann Songtext
von Them Bird Things

I killed a mockingbird
Though it′s a sin
And I shot a bullfrog
Again and again and again and again and again
Mama whipped me, left lesions on my back
Right there and then I swore
I'd get my own back
I would get them back
Get ′em back
One by one

A teenage tantrum
A terrific mistake
Eleven stolen lives
Marking our wake
Stolts and outrage


Picture still remains
A blue-eyed broken boy
Corn-fed and dead
Oh, I don't know
I done did what I wanted
I was just a kid

Just a kid

Most mornings I wish
When they pulled that leather strap
I'd been right there, right there
Sitting on his lap
Never a brat
Still, Charlie′s little bitch
Years they have passed
And the only itch is a hoodoo itch

Caroline, what you done to me?
Caroline, what you done to me?

Oh, I don′t know
I done did what I wanted
I was just a kid
Just a kid
Just a kid
