paroles de chanson Bad Man Blunder (Live) - The Kingston Trio

Well, early one evenin′ I was rollin' around
I was feelin′ kind of mean, I shot a deputy down
Strollin' on home and I went to bed
Well, I laid my pistol up under my head
He strolled along home
And he went to bed
Laid his pistol
Up under his head
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
He was steppin′ right along
But he was steppin' too slow
Got surrounded by a sheriff
In Mexico
When I was arrested, I didn′t have a dime
The sheriff says, "Son, you're ridin′ free this time
Where you're goin' you won′t need a cent
′Cause the great state of Texas gonna pay your rent"
'Cause where you′re goin'
You won′t need a cent
'Cause the great state of Texas
Gonna pay your rent
Well, I didn′t have a key and I didn't have a file
Naturally I stayed around until my trial
The 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
Ninety-three
I didn′t like the way the jury looked at me
I think they were suspicious
The judge and the jury, they did agree
They all said murder in the first degree
The judge said, same
"I don′t know whether to hang you or not
But this your killing of deputy sheriffs
Has just naturally got to stop"
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
All I ever did was shoot a deputy down
Ninety and nine
On the hard rock pile
And all he ever did was shoot a deputy down
