Murder On the PierAndy HillThe Murder On The Pier(© Words and Music by Andy Hill) Two young lovers went walkin’ Oh to the pier one night And the two young lovers got to talkin’ And they got into a fight They didn’t see the warnin’ They didn’t see no sign And when the fog lifted on the followin’ morning There was one young lover to find A tragedy said officer Joe It must have been one hell of a fall But when they pulled her body out of the ocean There was a bullet hole through her skull Well they put two and two together And the case seemed suddenly sound They went lookin’ for the other young lover But the other young lover skipped town Well men have been known to make mistakes When things ain’t as they appear They found the other young lover in a bar in a corner With a woman and a bottle of beer Well they forced the pieces of the puzzle into place Had the trial date set for the 5th And there was one young lover on his knees in a cell For a crime he didn’t commit It was a cool night seven years later He went walkin’ on out to the pier Saw the warning signs that he missed that night The rustle in the bushes was clear As he turned to face his assailant Caught a bullet and stumbled and fell He tumbled all the way to the ocean with the answer But nobody there to tell A tragedy said officer Joe I guess the guilt was too hard to face It’s the same gun he used on his girlfriend And he closed the books on the case (A case of mistaken identity) |
