Artist | Moriarty |
Album | Fugitives |
[00:08.920] | Little Jesse was a gambler, night and day |
[00:11.640] | And he used crooked cards and dice |
[00:15.080] | He was a son of guy, good hearted but he had no soul |
[00:18.120] | Jesse's heart was hard and cold like ice |
[00:22.100] | Jesse was a wild reckless gambler |
[00:24.240] | He won a gang of change |
[00:26.170] | Altho' a many gambler's heart he led in pain |
[00:37.690] | Jesse began to spend and loose his money |
[00:39.060] | He began to be blue, sad and all alone |
[00:42.470] | What broke Jesse's heart while he was blue and all alone |
[00:45.630] | Sweet Lorena packed up and gone |
[00:50.100] | And the police walked up and they shot my friend Jesse down, boy |
[00:53.820] | He got to die someday |
[00:56.360] | He had a gang, gang and gamblers at his bedside |
[01:01.680] | And here are the words he had to say |
[01:04.280] | I guess I ought to know |
[01:07.160] | Exactly how I want to go |
[01:10.900] | Eight crapshooters to be my pallbearers |
[01:14.220] | Let 'em be veiled down in black |
[01:17.460] | I want nine men going to the graveyard, buddy |
[01:20.580] | I want eight men coming back |
[01:24.620] | I want a gang of gamblers gathered 'round my coffin-side |
[01:28.360] | Crooked card printed on my hearse |
[01:34.760] | My life has been a doggone curse |
[01:51.320] | Well, well, well, well |
[01:53.120] | Send poker players to the graveyard, buddy |
[01:55.050] | Dig my grave with the ace of spades |
[01:58.860] | I want twelve polices in my funeral march |
[02:02.300] | High sheriff playin' blackjack, lead the parade |
[02:05.440] | I want the judge and solic'ter who jailed me fourty times |
[02:09.050] | Put a pair of dice in my shoes, what else |
[02:13.360] | Let a deck of cards be my tombstone, buddy |
[02:15.680] | I got the dying crapshooter |
[02:35.880] | Sixteen real good crapshooters |
[02:38.820] | Sixteen bootleggers to sing a song |
[02:42.240] | I want sixteen racket men gamblin' |
[02:44.720] | Couple tend bar while I'm rollin' along |
[02:48.770] | He wanted twenty two womens outta the Hampton Hotel |
[02:52.900] | He wanted twenty six off-a South Bell |
[02:55.600] | He wanted twenty nine women outta North Atlanta |
[02:58.860] | Know little Jesse didn't pass out so swell |
[03:02.400] | Well his heart was aching and his head was thumping |
[03:06.150] | Little Jesse went down bouncin' and jumpin' |
[03:10.320] | Folks, don't be standing 'round ol' Jesse dying |
[03:12.880] | He wants everybody to do the Charleston whiles he gone |
[03:17.600] | One foot up, and a toenail dragging |
[03:20.640] | Throw my friend Jesse in the hoodoo wagon |
