James Booth & The Return - Murder Ballad No. 4

Well
Have ya heard the news
About the man with the blues
I've heard he's not doin' so good
It's been a month or another
Since a car-crash lover
Sent his woman flying into the woods
Well, that's just what'cha get
When you don't take care
And your shoulders aren't
Screwed to your head
So put on a black dress
And get me my suit vest
Cause Ola LeLion is dead
Well, they say that it happened
After she got done slappin'
Her man for foolin' around
With Lollipop and Peggy Sue
Out by the old bayou
On the outskirts of the town
Well, it worked into a frenzy
With the cut of the brakes
And an oven full'o
Fresh-baked bread
Now Peggy Sue's locked up
Lollipop is knocked up
And Ola LeLion is dead
OKAY PLAY THAT THING
Well I know this kinda thing
Happens every day
But still I can't help
But think it's insane
Throwing out someone full of
Love and joy
For someone who thinks
Life is a game
(That's Low)
Have you heard the news
About the man with the blues
I heard he cries his eyes out
'Til they're dry
It's been a month or another
Since a car crash lover
Sent his woman flyin' into the sky
Well, that's just what'cha get
When you don't take care
And your shoulders aren't
Screwed to your head
So put on a black dress
And get me my suit vest
Cause baby
Ola LeLion
GASP
Is dead
