[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Hmmm, hmmm,
She walked in battered and bruised,
He knew what he had to do,
Her husband followed her to the bar, Then grabbed her by the arm,
Threw her on to the ground,
Kicking her while she was down,
Saying you better know your place,
Blood trickling down her face,
[Chorus]
The judge said tell me son,
Do you know what you've done,
You put him in a hospital bed,
He said he should be dead,
He should be in the dirt
For hurting her!!!!,
Hmmm,
For hurting her!!!!!,
[Verse 2]
Hmmm, hmmm,
He spent last night, in the local jail,
His head pounding, feeling like hell,
Another bar fight, leaves him wandering
If he's made the right choice,
To get involved with her,
She's a married woman,
With a wife beating husband,
[Chorus]
The judge said tell me son,
Do you know what you've done,
You put him in a hospital bed,
He said he should be dead,
He should be in the dirt
For hurting her!!!,
Hmmm,
For hurting her!!!!!,
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
Hmmm, hmmm,
He will take the punishment,
Happily to do the time,
Cause he knows that,
What he did was a crime,
But standing up for her wasn't wrong,
As she wasn't strong enough,
Very day he spends in this place,
Knowing he will never hit her again,
[Chorus]
The judge said tell me son,
Do you know what you've done,
You put him in a hospital bed,
He said he should be dead,
That he should be in the dirt
For hurting her!!!!,
Hmmm,
For hurting her!!!!!,
[Outro]
He should be dead,
Not a hospital bed,
For hurting her,
Hmmm,
For hurting her!!!!!.
