Bad Man's Blunder (Remastered) - The 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
