《Bad Man’s Blunder》歌词

[00:00:00] Bad Man's Blunder - The Kingston Trio

[00:00:08] Well early one evenin' I was rollin' around

[00:00:11] I was feelin' kind of mean I shot a deputy down

[00:00:14] Strollin' on home and I went to bed

[00:00:16] Well I laid my pistol up under my head

[00:00:19] He strolled along home

[00:00:21] (I took my time)

[00:00:22] And he went to bed

[00:00:23] (Thought I'd sleep some)

[00:00:25] Laid his pistol

[00:00:26] (Big twenty-two)

[00:00:27] Up under his head

[00:00:29] (I keep it handy)

[00:00:33] Well early in the mornin' 'bout the break of day

[00:00:36] I figured it was time to make a getaway

[00:00:39] Steppin' right along but I was steppin' too slow

[00:00:41] Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico

[00:00:44] He was steppin' right along

[00:00:45] (Were a-high footin' it)

[00:00:47] But he was steppin' too slow

[00:00:48] (It was a sultry day)

[00:00:50] Got surrounded by a sheriff

[00:00:51] (Boxed in)

[00:00:52] In Mexico

[00:00:53] (I didn't even have a chance to see the country)

[00:00:58] When I was arrested I didn't have a dime

[00:01:00] The sheriff says "Son you're ridin' free this time

[00:01:03] Where you're goin' you won't need a cent

[00:01:06] 'Cause the great state of Texas gonna pay your rent"

[00:01:09] 'Cause where you're goin'

[00:01:10] (I think he means jail)

[00:01:12] You won't need a cent

[00:01:13] (Well he knows I'm broke)

[00:01:14] 'Cause the great state of Texas

[00:01:16] (Yippee)

[00:01:17] Gonna pay your rent

[00:01:19] (I'm mighty grateful fellas)

[00:01:23] Well I didn't have a key and I didn't have a file

[00:01:26] Naturally I stayed around until my trial

[00:01:29] The judge was an old man ninety-three

[00:01:31] And I didn't like the way the jury looked at me

[00:01:34] Well the judge was an old man

[00:01:35] (Too old)

[00:01:37] Ninety-three

[00:01:38] (Entirely too old)

[00:01:40] I didn't like the way the jury looked at me

[00:01:44] I think they were suspicious

[00:01:47] The judge and the jury they did agree

[00:01:49] They all said murder in the first degree

[00:01:52] The judge said same

[00:01:54] "I don't know whether to hang you or not

[00:01:56] But this your killing of deputy sheriffs

[00:01:57] Has just naturally got to stop"

[00:01:59] ("You've got a point there judge")

[00:02:02] It was a most unsatisfactory trial

[00:02:05] They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile

[00:02:08] Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground

[00:02:10] All I ever did was shoot a deputy down

[00:02:13] Ninety and nine

[00:02:14] (It could have been life)

[00:02:15] On the hard rock pile

[00:02:17] (They might-a hung me)

[00:02:18] And all he ever did was shoot a deputy down

[00:02:29] (This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me)

[00:02:34] (Bang you're dead)
