Bob McKinney Songtext
von Henry Thomas

Went down Johnson Street
Bob McKinney come passing by
Goin′ on down that Johnson Street
Make trouble in that line
Wasn't he bad? Yeah! Wasn′t he bad?

Bobby said to Maggy
Come to me I said
If you don't come in a hurry
I'll but a thirty-eight in you head
Wasn′t he bad? Yes! Wasn′t he bad?

Bobby said to Ben Fess
I'm bound to take your life
You caused trouble between
Me and my wife
Wasn′t he bad? Yes! Wasn't he bad?


Bobby said to the High Sheriff
Do you think I′m going to run?
If I had another load
Me you'd have some fun
Wasn′t he bad? Wasn't he bad?

Oh my babe take me back
I ain't a burden take me back
Monday morning won′t be long
You gonna call me, I′ll be gone

She turned round two three times
Then my baby take me back
Take me back, Take me back
Take my baby Take me back

Make me a pallet on the floor
Make me a one pallet on the floor
I'll make a pallet on your floor
Make it so your man will never know

Make it so your man never know
Make it so your man never know
I′ll make a pallet on your floor
Wouldn't you make it so your man will never know

Yes I′m Looking for the bullet lay me down
Hey looking for the bullet lay me down


I'm looking for the bullet lay me down
I′m looking for that bullet lay me down
But that bullet can't be found
I'm looking for that bullet lay me down.

Looking for the bullet lay me down
Looking for the bullet lay me down
