Five Minutes More - Ricky Nelson

There’s a man in a suit at my front door

And he’s got some paper in his hand

Says I got to come down to the station

And he hopes I’ll take it like a man

'Cause they caught me takin' what wasn’t mine

And it looks like I’ll be doin' time

(Doin' time)

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye

Well, they stood me up in front of a jury

And they told me what it was I’d done

And the judge said we’re findin' you guilty

I said, «Judge, I’m not the guilty one»

There wasn’t anythin' left I could say

'Cause they sentenced me to ninety days

(Ninety days)

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye

Baby, I got somethin' to say

You know they’re gonna put me away

It’ll only be a matter of days

Then I’m comin' back to you

Comin' back to you, comin' back to you

Well, they’re gonna put some walls around me

And there’s nothin' anyone can do

I’m gonna do my time in the county

And I hope that time is all that I lose

Maybe this won’t be so bad

Woman, don’t you look so sad

(Look so sad)

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye

Give me five minutes more

To tell my baby goodbye
