Testo Big Mable Murphy - Sue Thompson
Testo della canzone Big Mable Murphy (Sue Thompson), tratta dall'album Greatest Hits
Way back in '29, somewhere in Coffeyville
Was a honky-tonk named Big Mabel Murphy's
She had a sweetheart named Little Melvin
And the hair would fly between them every night
They say Little Melvin got wild on bathtub gin
'Cause it made him grow to almost twice his size
He'd try to take over and sass Big Mabel
And her great big fist would black Little Melvin's eyes
Big Mabel Murphy, she loved Little Melvin
But he never did learn to do just what she said
'Cause poor Little Melvin woke up every morning
With two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head
Then late one rainy night, Scarface Musiolla
Came in and started shovin' folks around
Big Mabel Murphy was back in the kitchen
So just for fun, he shot Little Melvin down
Early next morning, down by the river
Scarface Musiolla was found real short of breath
They say that Scarface had died from a whuppin'
He had two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head
Big Mabel Murphy's place raved on until she died
And they say sometimes a tear would fill her eye
And then she'd whisper, "Lord, I'd give anything
If once more I could black Little Melvin's eyes"
