Subject: Lyrics - Somebody else not me
I'm not really sure of the name of this song but I think it may be SOMEBODY ELSE NOT ME. It was on a record (long lost) that I had back in the late 40's and I only remember it in bits and pieces. One verse contained: '...... a game last night, brought on a fight, that finished up with pistol shots. Now I was furthest from the door, the others all got there before, a brother on the floor lay dead, while through the transom some one said. Somebody has to stay behind, yes someone must remain, and when those police officers arrive, just explain why this here brother ain't alive..............now thats a wonder full chanch for some one, its got to be somebody else not me.' most likely not the exact words.
