Racketeers Blues |
| If you’ve got over fifteen grand’s, better split it ninety-nine different ways |
| If you’ve got over fifteen grand’s, you better split it ninety-nine different |
| ways |
| 'Cause the racketeer |
| Has got no certain place to dig your grale |
| When they demand your money, you’ve got to give it up with a smile |
| When they demand your money, you’ve got to give it up with a smile |
| And if you refuse, they’ll read about you in a short little while |
| When the gang is out to get you, it don’t do no good to run |
| When the gang is out to get you, it don’t do no good to run |
| It’s true you can dodge a log but you can’t dodge them slugs out the machine gun |
| You slave hard for your money, just to give it to some other one |
| You work hard for your money, just to give it to some other one |
| And if you refuse, the answer will be from a racketeer’s gun |
| When the gang is out to get you, they’ll follow you everywhere |
| When the gang is out to get you, they’ll follow you everywhere |
| You can even move towards hell … |
| Find you there |
