Johnny Ace Is Dead - Dave Alvin[00:00:00]

Down in houston texas on a christmas night[00:00:18]

With a gun in his hand and his name up in lights[00:00:22]

He was young and handsome the prince of the blues[00:00:26]

In a sharkskin suit and alligator shoes[00:00:30]

He was flirting with some women who had come backstage[00:00:34]

He said ladies want to see me play a wild little game[00:00:38]

But big mama thornton said go sing your song[00:00:42]

And put that damn thing down before something goes wrong[00:00:47]

Big mama cried dear lord big mama said[00:00:52]

He put a 22 pistol right up to his head[00:00:59]

Then he smiled at the ladies[00:01:08]

Now johnny ace is dead[00:01:11]

The band leader set his saxophone down[00:01:21]

And said i think i better split before the cops come round[00:01:24]

While the crowd in the theater slowly drifted away[00:01:29]

With their heads hung low not sure of what to say[00:01:33]

But slike down robey the record company man[00:01:37]

With big diamond rings on both of his hands[00:01:42]

Said i'm gonna send him back to memphis in a refrigerated truck[00:01:46]

Cause johnny ace is gonna make me a million bucks[00:01:50]

Big mama cried dear lord big mama said[00:01:55]

He put a 22 pistol right up to his head[00:02:02]

Then he smiled at the ladies[00:02:11]

Now johnny ace is dead[00:02:14]

When johnny came back home to memphis tennessee[00:02:49]

Everyone on beale street came out to see[00:02:53]

There were pimps and gamblers husbands and wives[00:02:57]

Women young and old all came to say goodbye[00:03:02]

As the choirs sand and the preachers prayed[00:03:05]

Five thousand mourners marched him to his grave[00:03:10]

Well there may be a heaven and there may be a hell[00:03:14]

No one knows for sure but now johnny ace knows damn well[00:03:18]

Big mama cried dear lord big mama said[00:03:23]

He put a 22 pistol right up to his head[00:03:30]

Then he smiled at the ladies[00:03:39]

Now johnny ace is dead[00:03:45]
