She speaks good French sitting pretty on the bench But I know she's only after his Gold? 
 
 G       
She looks so fine, it's naturally a crime  
 
           Em                                D             G 
But she complains that she's getting too old

Well I tried so hard, but it ain't in the cards So I'll be leaving her alone  
 
D                                          C                       G            Em                                                 D 
And if I'm right mama, you'll have to sing to me But if I'm wrong then I won't be in your way 
 
G                        D                  C                  G                    Em                   D                G 
    And if I find myself at the mercy of the law Won't you free me on my judgement day?  
 
G              Em                  D                  G 
Won't you free me on my judgement day?
