Who Shot John-Chuck Prophet

They say I shot Montgomery, shot him in the chest It never went to trial, Montgomery confessed They say possession is still nine-tenths of the law Well what possessed you to ask me who shot John Eddy got probation, went out and robbed a bank While out at the end of Jackson, Fatty walked the plank I can hear him laughing still, on the seventh floor Eddy wrote me a letter and asked me who shot John Eddy dropped a kite from prison, told me who shot John I went out last Sunday, ran into Cyril He said I seen your friend Johnny out running with your girl They were in the backseat so I climbed into the front And in all of the commotion, tell me who shot John There wasn't anybody there to witness who shot John Have you seen my baby, I ain't seen her around They say I shot my baby, they say I shot her down She was here for a little while but now, my baby, she gone They've yet to find the body or who shot John There's some mistakes that I don't make, tell me who shot John Well the truth is out there somewhere, who shot John I think I'm gonna start a rumor that you shot John Hold me in your arms and tell me who shot John Put another log on the fire, who shot John I hear they're gonna make a movie Well one more thing, who shot John?
