Dying Crapshooter's Blues - Blind Willie McTell[00:00:00]
Little Jesse was a gambler night and day[00:00:15]
He used crooked cards and dice [00:00:19]
Sinful guy good hearted but had no soul[00:00:23]
Heart was hard and cold like ice[00:00:27]
Jesse was a wild reckless gambler[00:00:32]
Won a gang of change[00:00:34]
Altho' a many gambler's heart he led in pain[00:00:36]
What broke Jesse's heart while he was blue and all alone[00:00:41]
His heart had even turned to stone [00:00:45]
Police walked up and shot my friend Jesse down[00:00:51]
Boys i got to die today[00:00:55]
He had a gang of crapshooters and gamblers at his bedside[00:00:59]
Here are the words he had to say:[00:01:03]
Guess I ought to know[00:01:06]
Exactly how I wants to go[00:01:10]
(How you wanna go Jesse )[00:01:12]
Eight crapshooters to be my pallbearers[00:01:15]
Let 'em be veiled down in black[00:01:18]
I want nine men going to the graveyard bubba[00:01:21]
And eight men comin back[00:01:25]
I want a gang of gamblers gathered 'round my coffin-side[00:01:28]
Crooked card printed on my hearse[00:01:32]
Don't say the crapshooters'll never grieve over me[00:01:35]
My life been a doggone curse[00:01:39]
Send poker players to the graveyard[00:01:43]
Dig my grave with the ace of spades[00:01:46]
I want twelve polices in my funeral march[00:01:49]
High sheriff playin' blackjack lead the parade[00:01:52]
I want the judge and solic'ter who jailed me 14 times[00:01:56]
Put a pair of dice in my shoes (then what )[00:02:00]
Let a deck of cards be my tombstone[00:02:04]
I got the dyin' crapshooter's blues[00:02:06]
Sixteen real good crapshooters[00:02:11]
Sixteen bootleggers to sing a song[00:02:15]
Sixteen racket men gamblin'[00:02:18]
Couple tend bar while i'm rollin' along[00:02:21]
