murder ballad - the people's blues of richmond lyrics

Loading...

down in savannah
with the moonlight in my eye
i put a bullet between my baby’s br–sts
and i left her there to die
i went back to my motel
i laid down in my bed
with my.44 still smoking underneath my head.

i got to thinking about the deed that i’d done
i knew i was in trouble, i knew i had to run
my gut told me to get out as fast as i could
but i was laughing at lady luck
for loving me so good

well i finally got around to leaving
i pulled out all the stops
i was long gone by evening
i was miles from the cops
i was miles out of trouble when i tripped up on my guilt
i went back to bury my baby
who the day before i’d killed

when i got back to town, boy, was i surprised
my baby had escaped me
there was no body where she died
i turned around to leave town and guess who was still alive
yup, my baby and her pistol pointed right between my eyes

well i probably should’ve apologized
and begged her for my life,
but i said i’d have shot you town ten more times
before i ever made you my wife
and i skinned my steel quickly
i put it up to her head
two shots rang through the city when i shot my baby shot me dead.
