Текст песни I'm Bad Like Jesse James - John Lee Hooker

Little thing I'm going to do
Called "I'm Bad Like Jesse James"

I'm bad
I'm bad
Like Jesse James, uh-huh

I had a friend one time
Least I thought I did
He come to me
Said, "Johnny"
Said, "What man?"
"I'm outdoor"
I say, "Yeah?"

I taken the cat in
Get him a place to stay
And I found out
He goin' 'round town
Tellin' ever'body that he
He got my wife

Then I gets mad, I goes to the cat
Like a good guy should
I said, "Look, man
I'm gonna warn, you just one time
Next time I warn you
I might use my gun"

'Cause I'm mad
I'm bad
Lke Jesse James

I'm so mad, I'm so mad
I'm gonna ruin you this mornin'
I've got three boys
Do my dirty work
Now, you don't see me
I'm the big boss
I do the payin' off
After they take care of you

In their own way
They may shoot you
They may cut you
They may drown you
I just don't know
I don't care
Long as they take care of you
In their own way

I'm so mad
I'm bad this mornin'
Like Jesse James

They gon' take you right down
By the riverside
Now four is goin' down
Ain't but three comin' back
You read between the line
We're gonna have a deal

'Cause I'm mad
I'm bad
Like Jesse James

They gonna tie your hands
They gonna tie your feet
They gonna gag your throat
Where you can't holler none

An cryin' won't help you none
So I sent you in the water
Yeah, the bubbles comin' up
Whoa
Rrr
Rrr

Oh yeah, I'm so bad
