Testo Jesse James - John Lee Hooker
Testo della canzone Jesse James (John Lee Hooker), tratta dall'album Alone: Live at Hunter College 1976
I'mma do a number that I love to do
Called "I'm Bad Like Jesse James"
I want you to dig the lyrics on this
Just dig what I'm gonna do to this cat
'Cause I'm gonna ruin him this morning
Yeah
I had a friend one time
Least I thought I did
He come to me
Said, "Johnny"
I said, "What, man?"
"I'm outdoor"
I say, "Yeah?"
I taken the cat in
Get him a place to stay
And a bed to sleep in
When I found out
He's goin' around town
Tellin' everybody that he
He got my wife
Then I gets mad
I goes to the cat
Like a good guy should
I said, "Look man
I'm gonna warn you, just one time
Next time I warn you
I'mma gonna use my gun
'Cause I'm mad
And I'm bad
Like Jesse James
Mmm-hmm
I got three boys
Do my dirty work
You don't see me
I'm the big boss
I do the payin' off
After the job is did
They may cut you
They may shoot you
They may drown you
I don't know
And I don't care
As long as they take care of you
In their own way
'Cause I'm mad
And I'm bad
Like Jesse James
Mmm-hmm
They gon' take you down
By the riverside
Four goin' down
Ain't but three comin' back
You read between the lines
What is gonna happen to you
'Cause I'm mad at you
And I'm bad
Like Jesse James
Mmm-hmm
They gonna tie your hands
Gonna tie your feet
Gag your throat
Where you can't holla
Sink you in the water
And hold you down
You can hear the bubbles comin' up
Out of the water
Just hold the cat dead now
Don't let him up
He been talking to much
Mmm-hmm
He's trough with the world now
Alright
Nothing but the best and laid up for the garbage
Thank you, thank you for the hands
The sound of your hands
