Gangster's Blues

Gangster's Blues - Peetie Wheatstraw

Last night buddy

I caught you kissin' my wife

Don't you know

I'm gonna take your life

I've got the gangster blues

I've got the gangster blues

I've got the gangster blues

Boys I am feelin' mean

I'm gonna take you for an easy ride

Drop you off on the riverside

I got the gangster blues

I've got the gangster's blues

I've got the gangster's blues

Boys I am feelin' mean

I'm gonna bound you mouth

So you can't talk

Tie you feet so you can't walk

I've got the gangster's blues

I've got the gangster's blues

I've got the gangster's blues

Boys I am feelin' mean

You can start your screamin'

But must give in

I'm gonna tear you a pieces

And put you back again

I've got the gangster's blues

Now I've got the gangster blues

I've got the gangster's blues

Boys I am feelin' mean

Put up your hands

And reach for the sky

Won't let you down

Before you bat an eye

I've got the gangster's blues

I've got the gangster's blues

I've got the gangster's blues

Boys I am feelin' mean

I'm gonna bury you out

On the lone prairie

Because I know you bide on me

I've got the gangster's blues

I've got the gangster's blues

I've got the gangster blues

Boys I am feelin' mean
