Hard Luck Blues

Me and my brother Jim went in
To a restaurant one night
Soon as my mother parted
We got into a fight

Shot all the way through me
They killed my brother, Jim
Shot all the way through me
They killed my brother, Jim

Hard luck, hard luck
Placed me on the spot
Jury said it wasn't me
My brother Jim got shot

Well, my wife she had a mouth
Big enough for both
She got fright'ned in her sleep one night
And a mouse ran down her throat

Hard luck, hard luck
Placed me on the spot
Jury said it wasn't me
My brother Jim got shot

Got me a cat and a piece of cheese
And placеd it on her chin
Wife got fright'ned in hеr sleep one night
Took rat, cat, cheese and all in

Hard luck, hard luck
Placed me on the spot
Jury said it wasn't me
My brother Jim got shot
