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]
