Bad Man's Blunder 歌词
Bad Man's Blunder - Kingston Trio
Written by：Lee Hays
Well early one evenin' I was rolling around
I was feelin' kinda mean I shot a deputy down
Strolled along home and I went to bed
Well I laid my pistol up under my head
He strolled along home
I took my time
And he went to bed
Thought I'd sleep some
Laid his pistrol
Big 22
Up under his head
I keep it handy
Well early in the mornin' 'bout the break of day
I figured it was time to make a getaway
Steppin' right along but I was steppin' too slow
Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico
Well he was steppin' right along
I were a hot footin' it
But he was steppin' too slow
It was a sultry day
Got surrounded by a sheriff
Boxed in
In Mexico
I didn't even have a chance to see the country
When I was arrested well I didn't have a dime
The sheriff said 'son you're riding free this time
'Where you're going you won't need a cent
'Cause the great state of texas gonna pay your rent
'Cause where you're going
I think he means jail
You won't need a cent
Well he knows I'm broke
'Cause the great state of texas
Yippee
Gonna pay your rent
I'm mighty grateful fellas
Well I didn't have a key and I didn't have a file
Naturally I stayed around until my trial
Judge was an old man ninety three
And I didn't like the way the jury looked at me
Well the judge was an old man
Too old
Ninety three
Entirely too old
I didn't like the way
The jury looked at me
I think they were suspicious
The judge and jury they did agree
They all said murder in the first degree
The judge said same
I dunno whether to hang you or not
But this here killin' of deputy sheriffs
Has just naturally got to stop'
You gotta point there judge
It was a most unsatisfactory trial
They gave me ninety nine years on the hard rock pile
Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground
And all I ever did was shoot a deputy down
Ninety and nine
It could have been life
On the hard rock pile
They might a hung me
And all he ever did
Was shoot a deputy down
This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me
Bang you're dead
