Bad Man Blunder (Live)
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'

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
