Knows nothing but a whisper

Speaks only of that crime

I lost it all September 

What I made up in the mines

That woman gave me shelter 

That woman gave me wine

And told me of adventure

 Showed me a good time

She said 

They’re gonna shoot you if you stay

And they’ll always love you when you’re paying

 I’d rather die than turn away

My monies on me anyway

I got nothing in my cupboards 

Anyone could chew

So come sit at my table

And drink up all my food

I ain’t been drunk in weeks yet

I rarely tell the truth

 Broken my own word 

But at least it got some use

They’re gonna shoot you if you stay

They’ll always love you when you’re paying

My guns ready my hands are so steady

Man I’m a bad mother fucker for sure when hurt

A goddamn ricochet just hit my rye

Hey ooh 

Right

If reason had a sister 

Cold weather would make her bloom

Got it don’t remember 

Why had it is such a fool

If I don’t get no better 

I’ll be dying soon

We all can’t live for ever 

Got to make some room

 And

 they’re gonna shoot you if you stay

They always love you when you are paying

 I’d rather die than turn away 

My monies on me anyway

Hey ya

Hey ya

Hey ya
