Dying Crapshooters Blues (LP版) - Blind Willie McTell[00:00:00]
Little Jesse was a gambler night and day[00:00:10]
He used crooked cards and dice [00:00:14]
Sinful guy good hearted but had no soul[00:00:19]
Heart was hard and cold like ice[00:00:23]
Jesse was a wild reckless gambler[00:00:28]
Won a gang of change[00:00:30]
Altho' a many gambler's heart he led in pain[00:00:32]
Began to spend a-loose his money[00:00:37]
Began to be blue and all alone[00:00:39]
His heart had even turned to stone [00:00:43]
What broke Jesse's heart[00:00:48]
While he was blue and all alone[00:00:49]
Sweet Lorena packed up and gone[00:00:51]
Police walked up and shot my friend Jesse down[00:00:56]
Boys i got to die today[00:00:59]
He had a gang of crapshooters[00:01:02]
And gamblers at his bedside[00:01:03]
Here are the words he had to say[00:01:06]
Guess I ought to know[00:01:09]
Exactly how I wants to go[00:01:12]
(How you wanna go Jesse )[00:01:14]
Eight crapshooters to be my pallbearers[00:01:16]
Let 'em be veiled down in black[00:01:20]
I want nine men going to the graveyard bubba[00:01:23]
And eight men comin back[00:01:26]
I want a gang of gamblers gathered[00:01:29]
'Round my coffin-side[00:01:31]
Crooked card printed on my hearse[00:01:33]
Don't say the crapshooters'll never grieve over me[00:01:36]
My life been a doggone curse[00:01:39]
Send poker players to the graveyard[00:01:42]
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[00:01:55]
Put a pair of dice in my shoes[00:01:59]
Let a deck of cards be my tombstone[00:02:02]
I got the dyin' crapshooter's blues[00:02:04]
Sixteen real good crapshooters[00:02:10]
Sixteen bootleggers to sing a song[00:02:13]
Sixteen racket men gamblin'[00:02:16]
Couple tend bar while i'm rollin' along[00:02:19]
He wanted 22 womens outta the Hampton Hotel[00:02:22]
26 off-a South Bell[00:02:25]
29 women outta North Atlanta[00:02:28]
Know little Jesse didn't pass out so swell[00:02:30]
Well his heart was aching head was thumping[00:02:34]
Little Jesse went down bouncin' and jumpin'[00:02:38]
Folks don't be standing 'round ol' Jesse dying[00:02:41]
He wants everybody to do the Charleston whiles he gone[00:02:43]
One foot up and a toenail dragging[00:02:47]
Throw my friend Jesse in the hoodoo wagon[00:02:50]
Come here mama with that can of booze[00:02:52]
Dyin' crapshooter's blues that mean[00:02:56]
The dyin' crapshooter's blues[00:02:59]
