《Badman Ballad》歌词

[00:00:01] Badman Ballad - Cisco Houston

[00:00:06] Early one evening I was rolling around

[00:00:08] I was feeling kind of mean

[00:00:09] I shot a deputy down

[00:00:11] Strolled along home

[00:00:12] And I went to bed

[00:00:14] I laid me pistol up under my head

[00:00:17] He strolled on home

[00:00:18] I took my time

[00:00:20] And he went to bed

[00:00:21] Thought I'd sleep some

[00:00:23] Laid his pistol

[00:00:24] Big forty-four

[00:00:26] Up under his head

[00:00:27] I keep it handy

[00:00:30] Early in the morning at the break of day

[00:00:33] I figured it was time to make a getaway

[00:00:36] I was stepping right along

[00:00:37] But I was stepping too slow

[00:00:38] Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico

[00:00:42] He was stepping right along

[00:00:43] I was hot-footing it

[00:00:44] But he was stepping too slow

[00:00:46] A hot day

[00:00:47] Got surrounded by a sheriff

[00:00:49] Boxed in

[00:00:50] In Mexico

[00:00:52] I didn't even have a chance to see the country

[00:00:56] When I was arrested

[00:00:57] I didn't have a dime

[00:00:59] The sheriff said

[00:01:00] Son you're riding free this time

[00:01:02] Where you're going you won't need a cent

[00:01:05] 'Cause the great state of

[00:01:06] Texas gonna pay your rent

[00:01:08] 'Cause where you're going

[00:01:09] I think he means jail

[00:01:11] You won't need a cent

[00:01:12] Well he knows I'm broke

[00:01:13] 'Cause the great state of Texas

[00:01:15] Um-hmmm

[00:01:16] Is gonna pay your rent

[00:01:18] I'm mighty grateful

[00:01:21] Well I didn't have a key and

[00:01:22] I didn't have a file

[00:01:24] Naturally

[00:01:24] I stayed around until my trial

[00:01:27] The judge was an old man ninety-three

[00:01:29] And I didn't like the way the jury looked at me

[00:01:32] The judge was an old man

[00:01:34] Too old

[00:01:35] Ninety-three

[00:01:37] Entirely too old

[00:01:38] I didn't like the way the jury looked at me

[00:01:43] I think they were suspicious

[00:01:44] The judge and the jury they did agree

[00:01:47] They all said murder in the first degree

[00:01:50] The judge said

[00:01:51] I don't know whether to hang you or not

[00:01:52] But this here killing of deputy

[00:01:54] Sheriffs has just naturally got to stop

[00:01:57] You've got a point there judge

[00:01:59] It was a most unsatisfactory trial

[00:02:02] They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile

[00:02:06] Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground

[00:02:08] All I ever did was shoot a deputy down

[00:02:11] Ninety and nine

[00:02:13] It could have been life

[00:02:14] On the hard rock ground

[00:02:15] They might-a hung me

[00:02:17] And all he ever did

[00:02:20] Was shoot a deputy down

[00:02:22] This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me
