Badman Ballad - Cisco Houston[00:00:01]

Early one evening I was rolling around[00:00:06]

I was feeling kind of mean[00:00:08]

I shot a deputy down[00:00:09]

Strolled along home[00:00:11]

And I went to bed[00:00:12]

I laid me pistol up under my head[00:00:14]

He strolled on home[00:00:17]

I took my time[00:00:18]

And he went to bed[00:00:20]

Thought I'd sleep some[00:00:21]

Laid his pistol[00:00:23]

Big forty-four[00:00:24]

Up under his head[00:00:26]

I keep it handy[00:00:27]

Early in the morning at the break of day[00:00:30]

I figured it was time to make a getaway[00:00:33]

I was stepping right along[00:00:36]

But I was stepping too slow[00:00:37]

Got surrounded by a sheriff down in Mexico[00:00:38]

He was stepping right along[00:00:42]

I was hot-footing it[00:00:43]

But he was stepping too slow[00:00:44]

A hot day[00:00:46]

Got surrounded by a sheriff[00:00:47]

Boxed in[00:00:49]

In Mexico[00:00:50]

I didn't even have a chance to see the country[00:00:52]

When I was arrested[00:00:56]

I didn't have a dime[00:00:57]

The sheriff said[00:00:59]

Son you're riding free this time[00:01:00]

Where you're going you won't need a cent[00:01:02]

'Cause the great state of[00:01:05]

Texas gonna pay your rent[00:01:06]

'Cause where you're going[00:01:08]

I think he means jail[00:01:09]

You won't need a cent[00:01:11]

Well he knows I'm broke[00:01:12]

'Cause the great state of Texas[00:01:13]

Um-hmmm[00:01:15]

Is gonna pay your rent[00:01:16]

I'm mighty grateful[00:01:18]

Well I didn't have a key and[00:01:21]

I didn't have a file[00:01:22]

Naturally[00:01:24]

I stayed around until my trial[00:01:24]

The judge was an old man ninety-three[00:01:27]

And I didn't like the way the jury looked at me[00:01:29]

The judge was an old man[00:01:32]

Too old[00:01:34]

Ninety-three[00:01:35]

Entirely too old[00:01:37]

I didn't like the way the jury looked at me[00:01:38]

I think they were suspicious[00:01:43]

The judge and the jury they did agree[00:01:44]

They all said murder in the first degree[00:01:47]

The judge said[00:01:50]

I don't know whether to hang you or not[00:01:51]

But this here killing of deputy[00:01:52]

Sheriffs has just naturally got to stop[00:01:54]

You've got a point there judge[00:01:57]

It was a most unsatisfactory trial[00:01:59]

They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile[00:02:02]

Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground[00:02:06]

All I ever did was shoot a deputy down[00:02:08]

Ninety and nine[00:02:11]

It could have been life[00:02:13]

On the hard rock ground[00:02:14]

They might-a hung me[00:02:15]

And all he ever did[00:02:17]

Was shoot a deputy down[00:02:20]

This whole thing has sure been a lesson to me[00:02:22]
