Eight Men, Four Women Lyrics By O V Wright

    eight men four women
    lord that’s the jury of love

    i dreamed that love was a crime
    i was alone so lonely and blue
    you know why because eight men and four women lord
    they found me guilty of loving you loving you

    as they were taking me away
    you were taking i saw you when you were taking the witness stand
    you know what i heard the lawyer when he asked you my love
    do you really love that man

    it was eight men and four women guilty
    how could they be so blind guilty
    how could they i knew they sat there
    and called true love a crime this is what killed me

    4
    but a tear rolled down my cheek
    i felt so sorry for you
    you know why because in my heart i knew oh yes baby i knew
    that they would find you guilty too

    5
    judge your honor and to the jury
    i intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are innocent
    and true love is not a crime

    lord that’s the jury of love
    lord that’s the jury of love
    a mean judge and a mean jury oh that’s the jury of love
    lord that’s the jury of love
    lord that’s the jury of love fade
