Bad Man's Blunder - The Kingston Trio[00:00:00]
Well early one evenin' I was rollin' around[00:00:08]
I was feelin' kind of mean I shot a deputy down[00:00:11]
Strollin' on home and I went to bed[00:00:14]
Well I laid my pistol up under my head[00:00:16]
He strolled along home[00:00:19]
(I took my time)[00:00:21]
And he went to bed[00:00:22]
(Thought I'd sleep some)[00:00:23]
Laid his pistol[00:00:25]
(Big twenty-two)[00:00:26]
Up under his head[00:00:27]
(I keep it handy)[00:00:29]
Well early in the mornin' 'bout the break of day[00:00:33]
I figured it was time to make a getaway[00:00:36]
Steppin' right along but I was steppin' too slow[00:00:39]
Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico[00:00:41]
He was steppin' right along[00:00:44]
(Were a-high footin' it)[00:00:45]
But he was steppin' too slow[00:00:47]
(It was a sultry day)[00:00:48]
Got surrounded by a sheriff[00:00:50]
(Boxed in)[00:00:51]
In Mexico[00:00:52]
(I didn't even have a chance to see the country)[00:00:53]
When I was arrested I didn't have a dime[00:00:58]
The sheriff says "Son you're ridin' free this time[00:01:00]
Where you're goin' you won't need a cent[00:01:03]
'Cause the great state of Texas gonna pay your rent"[00:01:06]
'Cause where you're goin'[00:01:09]
(I think he means jail)[00:01:10]
You won't need a cent[00:01:12]
(Well he knows I'm broke)[00:01:13]
'Cause the great state of Texas[00:01:14]
(Yippee)[00:01:16]
Gonna pay your rent[00:01:17]
(I'm mighty grateful fellas)[00:01:19]
Well I didn't have a key and I didn't have a file[00:01:23]
Naturally I stayed around until my trial[00:01:26]
The judge was an old man ninety-three[00:01:29]
And I didn't like the way the jury looked at me[00:01:31]
Well the judge was an old man[00:01:34]
(Too old)[00:01:35]
Ninety-three[00:01:37]
(Entirely too old)[00:01:38]
I didn't like the way the jury looked at me[00:01:40]
I think they were suspicious[00:01:44]
The judge and the jury they did agree[00:01:47]
They all said murder in the first degree[00:01:49]
The judge said same[00:01:52]
"I don't know whether to hang you or not[00:01:54]
But this your killing of deputy sheriffs[00:01:56]
Has just naturally got to stop"[00:01:57]
("You've got a point there judge")[00:01:59]
It was a most unsatisfactory trial[00:02:02]
They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile[00:02:05]
Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground[00:02:08]
All I ever did was shoot a deputy down[00:02:10]
Ninety and nine[00:02:13]
(It could have been life)[00:02:14]
On the hard rock pile[00:02:15]
(They might-a hung me)[00:02:17]
And all he ever did was shoot a deputy down[00:02:18]
(This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me)[00:02:29]
(Bang you're dead)[00:02:34]
