Rise And Fall Of Jimmy Stokes Lyrics

	作曲 : Yvonne Verroca
	Jimmy Stokes came from Alabam'
	with just the shirt on his back
	But with a big determination
	to make it big and never come back
	He said goodbye to his girl Sue
	and left the farm to see what he could do
	Came east to the big, hard city
	saw the sights, lord have pity
	Every move he made seemed to be right
	made some good friends, he became tight
	Always played it cool, he was never a bore
	kept his eyes open always knowin' the score
	He waited for his break and took his prize
	and as you would assume, he was on the rise
	And with a little help from his friends
	Jimmy became a business head
	Now Jimmy Stokes he was selling cokes
	and all the pretty ladies in town
	He ran his business and was discreet,
	paid every cop on his beat
	He rides a big, custom-tone, purple Cadillac
	with his name written on the back
	If you can't get it and you don't know
	all you have to do is ask Jimmy Stokes
	Pretty soon power went to his head
	he started to treat his friends bad
	One night while a big bash at his pad,
	a knock on the door, the F.B.I. said,
	"Come on Jimmy let's go back to Alabama
	with a ball and chain doin' time in the hole,
	you are on the chain,
	come on Jimmy"
