I was walking down the sidewalk
With my coat strung over my back
When a car pulled up beside me
A big black Cadillac
A man said, "Son, have you seen a man with a gun?
He's got a scar across his eye
Looks a little like me, a real mean one"

I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing
I ain't seen nothing at all"
I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing
I ain't seen nothing at all"

He said, "Son, if you're lying
You'll never leave this town alive
Gonna fit you concrete overshoes
And you're gonna take a dive"

The car pulled away, and I ran off
So afraid I wanted to cry
When a man jumped out of the doorway
He had a scar across his eye
He said, "Son, have you seen a big black Cadillac?
With a man in the front looks a bit like me
And two more in the back"

I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing
I ain't seen nothing at all"
I said, "Sir I ain't seen nothing
I ain't seen nothing at all"

He said, "Son, if you're lying
You'll never leave this town
Wherever you run, I'll find you
And then I'll gun you down"

He ran one way, and I ran the other
Nearly bit clean through my lip
When I bumped into a policeman
With a six-gun on his hip
He said, "Son have you seen a big black Cadillac?
With one man in the front and two more in the back
Or a man with a scar"

I said, "I ain't seen nothing
I ain't seen nothing at all"
I said, "Stop, I ain't seen nothing
I ain't seen nothing at all"
I said, "Stop, I ain't seen nothing
I ain't seen nothing at all"
I said, "Stop, I ain't seen nothing
I don't want to get involved"
