[00:00:00] Dying Crapshooters Blues (LP版) - Blind Willie McTell

[00:00:10] Little Jesse was a gambler night and day

[00:00:14] He used crooked cards and dice

[00:00:19] Sinful guy good hearted but had no soul

[00:00:23] Heart was hard and cold like ice

[00:00:28] Jesse was a wild reckless gambler

[00:00:30] Won a gang of change

[00:00:32] Altho' a many gambler's heart he led in pain

[00:00:37] Began to spend a-loose his money

[00:00:39] Began to be blue and all alone

[00:00:43] His heart had even turned to stone

[00:00:48] What broke Jesse's heart

[00:00:49] While he was blue and all alone

[00:00:51] Sweet Lorena packed up and gone

[00:00:56] Police walked up and shot my friend Jesse down

[00:00:59] Boys i got to die today

[00:01:02] He had a gang of crapshooters

[00:01:03] And gamblers at his bedside

[00:01:06] Here are the words he had to say

[00:01:09] Guess I ought to know

[00:01:12] Exactly how I wants to go

[00:01:14] (How you wanna go Jesse )

[00:01:16] Eight crapshooters to be my pallbearers

[00:01:20] Let 'em be veiled down in black

[00:01:23] I want nine men going to the graveyard bubba

[00:01:26] And eight men comin back

[00:01:29] I want a gang of gamblers gathered

[00:01:31] 'Round my coffin-side

[00:01:33] Crooked card printed on my hearse

[00:01:36] Don't say the crapshooters'll never grieve over me

[00:01:39] My life been a doggone curse

[00:01:42] Send poker players to the graveyard

[00:01:46] Dig my grave with the ace of spades

[00:01:49] I want twelve polices in my funeral march

[00:01:52] High sheriff playin' blackjack lead the parade

[00:01:55] I want the judge and solic'ter who jailed me 14 times

[00:01:59] Put a pair of dice in my shoes

[00:02:02] Let a deck of cards be my tombstone

[00:02:04] I got the dyin' crapshooter's blues

[00:02:10] Sixteen real good crapshooters

[00:02:13] Sixteen bootleggers to sing a song

[00:02:16] Sixteen racket men gamblin'

[00:02:19] Couple tend bar while i'm rollin' along

[00:02:22] He wanted 22 womens outta the Hampton Hotel

[00:02:25] 26 off-a South Bell

[00:02:28] 29 women outta North Atlanta

[00:02:30] Know little Jesse didn't pass out so swell

[00:02:34] Well his heart was aching head was thumping

[00:02:38] Little Jesse went down bouncin' and jumpin'

[00:02:41] Folks don't be standing 'round ol' Jesse dying

[00:02:43] He wants everybody to do the Charleston whiles he gone

[00:02:47] One foot up and a toenail dragging

[00:02:50] Throw my friend Jesse in the hoodoo wagon

[00:02:52] Come here mama with that can of booze

[00:02:56] Dyin' crapshooter's blues that mean

[00:02:59] The dyin' crapshooter's blues
