Dear Mama, _ [Dm] _ _ Good day.
_ _ I [Am] hope that when these few lines reach you, _ [Dm] they may find you in the best of health.
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ Mama, I really don't know [Dm] how to tell you this, _
because I didn't make a [Am] solemn promise _ to take care of little [Dm] Jim _ and try my best [Am] to look after him. _ _ _
_ Mama, [Dm] I really did try my best, _ [Am] but nonetheless, _ sorry to tell you, poor [Dm] little Jim got arrested.
It _ [Am] was the middle of the rush hour, _ _ and [Dm] everybody was just hustling and bustling to [Am] go home for the evening shower. _ _
_ _ Me and [Dm] Jim stand up waiting upon a bus, _ _ not [Am] causing no fuss, _ but all of a sudden [Dm] a police van pull up.
_ _ _ [Am] Out jump three policemen, _ _ [Dm] all of them carrying batons.
They _ walk [Am] straight up to me and Jim. _
One of them hold on [Dm] to Jim, said he was taking him in.
[Am] _ _ Jim tell him to let go of him, for he's not done [Dm] nothing, and he's not even _ _ [Am] a button. _ _
[F#] Jim start to wriggle, _ the police start to giggle.
_ _ Mama, mek a tell you what them do to Jim.
_ Mama, _ mek a tell [C] you what them do to him. _ _ _
[Am] Them thump him in him belly [G] and it burn to jelly.
[Am] Them lick him on him back and him [G] ribs get popped.
[Am] Them lick him on him head [G] but it puff lightly.
[Am] Them kick him in him seed [G] and it started to bleed.
[Am] _ _ _ _ Mama, _ I just couldn't stand up there and do nothing. _ _ _ _
So me choke one in him eye [G] and he started to cry.
[Am] Me thump one in him mouth and [G] him started to shout.
[Am] Me kick one on him shin [G] and him started to spin.
[Am] Me thump him on him chin [G] and him drop one on him and [Am] crash.
_ And dead.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
More police man come down. _ _
_ [Dm] Come.
_ _ Them charge Jim to sus.
_ [Am] Them charge him to murder.
_ _ _ _ [Dm] Mama, _ _ don't [Am] fret.
_ _ Don't get depressed and down hearted.
_ _ [Dm] Be of good courage.
[Am] Till I hear from you. _
