Tonart: E minor
Verse 1
and a deck of cards
Said go on and play in the back yard
Walking down the alley
come my Uncle Lonnie
Said lemme teach ya about
Three- card Monte
Verse 2
Em
Take the ace of hearts and
two black queens
Flip 'em over so they can't be seen
Spin 'em around four or five times
Bet a nickel find the ace and
win a dime
Ten minutes later I had thirty five dollars
Verse 3
Em
Singing
ain't misbehaving
by the great Fats Waller
I believe I'm gonna count
my blessings
I believe I'm gonna count
Verse 4
my blessings
Em
Now I saw a black crow
on a fence post
Singing away like Sam
Hopkins's ghost
He sang when you see I
ain't breathing no more
Nail my feathers to an old barn door
Verse 5
Em
Or drag my carcass out behind the shed
Just make sure you're
pretty sure I'm dead
Ask an Ouija board if you can't quite tell
Verse 6
Or if I start to stink like the floors in hell
Em
Go to Navasota after I'm done dying
It don't do you no good sitting
Bm
Em
around crying
So I got me a pencil and
a moleskin book
When I heard Bertha Franklin shot
and killed Sam Cooke
Verse 7
Em
Wrote down December 11, 1964
Ain't gonna be twisting the
night away no more
It took 15 minutes for the
jury to decide
'Cause of death's justified homicide
Verse 8
Em
Liza Boyer wasn't called
by the prosecution
Later on she's arrested for
prostitution
La Hacienda motel had
a busted down door
Sam's wallet and his money was never
Outro 1
