Good mornin' policeman
What's the name of this town?
Good mornin' policeman
What's the name of this town?
Woke up in your cell
My head bloody and bound
A 44 fired, to the floor dominoes flung
A 44 fired, to the floor dominoes flung
And there lay Johnny C
And on me his murder hung
Better be strong boy
What the sheriff said
Better be strong boy
What the sheriff said
When you walk 13 steps
And I pull that noose round your head
Dig me a hole
Where the green grass is grown
Dig me a hole
Where the green grass is grown
So them wild desert birds
Will not pick and and clean my bones
