Hand me my pistol
Three rounds of ball
gonna shoot anybody
whup this poor boy along
Arrested on the Monday
Tuesday I was tried
Judge found me guilty and
I hung my head and cried
I asked the Judge
What might be my fine
He said a pick and a shovel
Way down int he mine
I said man,
I aint never been here before
He said I'll give you 99 years years
and you won't be back no more
Got a 38 special
45 frame
That thing never misses
I've got good aim
Daddy was a bad man
I'm a bad man too
Reason I'm a bad man
Got nothing better to do
So hand me my pistol
Three rounds of ball
Gonna shoot anybody
I don't like at all.

Gonna get me a banty
Put it in my backyard (x2)
When he sees a stranger comin'
He'll flap his wings and crow
What you want with a hen don't
Cackle when she lay (x2)
What you want with a woman
Won't do nothing you say
What you want with a rooster
Won't crow for day (x2)
What you want with a woman
Won't do nothing you say
Take my picture
Hang it up on Jackson wall (x2)
Anybody ask you
Tell 'em that's all you saw
Hooks in the water
And my cork's on top (x2)
How can I lose lord
With all the help I've got
I know my doggy
When I hear him bark (x2)
I Know my rider by feeling her in the dark
