Big Maceo - Poor Kelly Blues Lyrics
I went up on the mountainTo see what po' Kelly doneHe killed his womanAnd didn't even 'tempt to runUp on the mountainJust to see what po' Kelly doneWell, he killed his womanAnd he didn't even 'tempt to runWhen I found po' KellyHe was standing in the do'With a 32.20And a forty-fo'When I found po' KellyHe was standin' in the do'With a 32.20An a hard-hitting, forty-fo'I ask him was he sorry?He say, 'Nobody know''Just can't stand the way she wasTreatin' me any mo''Just couldn't standWay she was doin' me, any mo'She's a dirty mistreaterShe won't jive me, no mo'He said, 'I know I love herBetter than I did myselfShe misused meFor somebody else''She know I loved herBetter than I did myselfStill, she tried to misuse meFor somebody else''I know they gonna get me'He said, 'But I know I don't care'They may even send meTo the 'lectric chair''I know they gonna get meBut baby, I don't care'There is one consolationThey won't leave my woman, here.
