Lyrics

[00:09.21] Last night buddy, I caught you kissin' my wife
[00:13.95] Don't ya know I'm gonna take your life?
[00:18.67] I've got the gangster blues
[00:21.58] I've got the gangster blues
[00:26.71] I've got the gangster blues
[00:29.22] Boys, I am feelin' mean
[00:34.77] I'm gon' take you for an easy ride
[00:40.01] Drop you off on the riverside
[00:43.64] I got the gangster blues
[00:48.95] I've got the gangster's blues
[00:53.16] I've got the gangster's blues
[00:55.32] Boys, I am feelin' mean
[01:02.08] I'm gonna bound yo' mouth so you can't talk
[01:06.58] Tie yo' feet so you can't walk
[01:09.50] I've got the gangster's blues
[01:14.10] I've got the gangster's blues
[01:18.64] I've got the gangster's blues
[01:21.48] Boys, I am feelin' mean
[01:27.58] You can start your screamin' but must give in
[01:31.89] I'm gonna tear you a-pieces and put you back, again
[01:35.58] I've got the gangster's blues
[01:40.70] Now, I've got the gangster blues
[01:44.69] I've got the gangster's blues
[01:47.29] Boys, I am feelin' mean
[01:53.39] Put up your hands and reach for the sky
[01:58.04] Won't let you down before you bat an eye
[02:01.35] I've got the gangster's blues
[02:06.07] I've got the gangster's blues
[02:10.71] I've got the gangster's blues
[02:13.02] Boys, I am feelin' mean
[02:19.08] I'm gonna bury you out on the lone prairie
[02:23.58] Because I know you's bide'n on me
[02:27.12] I've got the gangster's blues
[02:31.76] I've got the gangster's blues
[02:36.17] I've got the gangster blues
[02:38.66] Boys, I am feelin' mean.
