Wishin' She Was Here (instead Of Me) Lyrics by Harlan Howard

I've stole that money for my baby I've shot that man who shot at me
She wasn't even in the courtroom and I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me
Now Lord you know that I ain't yellow but she's out there running fancy free
A lovin' up some other fellow and I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me
[ guitar ]
I've stole that money for my honey I dressed her like a Christmas tree
Now she won't even write a letter and I'm a wishin' she was here instead of me
In three
