《Dying Crapshooter’s Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Dying Crapshooter's Blues - Blind Willie McTell/Alan Lomax

[00:00:15] Little Jesse was a gambler night and day

[00:00:19] He used crooked cards and dice

[00:00:23] Sinful guy good hearted but had no soul

[00:00:27] Heart was hard and cold like ice

[00:00:32] Jesse was a wild reckless gambler

[00:00:34] Won a gang of change

[00:00:36] Altho' a many gambler's heart he led in pain

[00:00:41] What broke Jesse's heart while he was blue and all alone

[00:00:45] His heart had even turned to stone

[00:00:51] Police walked up and shot my friend Jesse down

[00:00:55] Boys i got to die today

[00:00:59] He had a gang of crapshooters and gamblers at his bedside

[00:01:03] Here are the words he had to say:

[00:01:06] Guess I ought to know

[00:01:10] Exactly how I wants to go

[00:01:12] (How you wanna go Jesse )

[00:01:15] Eight crapshooters to be my pallbearers

[00:01:18] Let 'em be veiled down in black

[00:01:21] I want nine men going to the graveyard bubba

[00:01:25] And eight men comin back

[00:01:28] I want a gang of gamblers gathered 'round my coffin-side

[00:01:32] Crooked card printed on my hearse

[00:01:35] Don't say the crapshooters'll never grieve over me

[00:01:39] My life been a doggone curse

[00:01:43] Send poker players to the graveyard

[00:01:46] Dig my grave with the ace of spades

[00:01:49] I want twelve polices in my funeral march

[00:01:52] High sheriff playin' blackjack lead the parade

[00:01:56] I want the judge and solic'ter who jailed me 14 times

[00:02:00] Put a pair of dice in my shoes (then what )

[00:02:04] Let a deck of cards be my tombstone

[00:02:06] I got the dyin' crapshooter's blues

[00:02:11] Sixteen real good crapshooters

[00:02:15] Sixteen bootleggers to sing a song

[00:02:18] Sixteen racket men gamblin'

[00:02:21] Couple tend bar while i'm rollin' along

[00:02:24] He wanted 22 womens outta the Hampton Hotel

[00:02:28] 26 off-a South Bell

[00:02:31] 29 women outta North Atlanta

[00:02:34] Know
