The Sad Bag Of Shaky Jake |
| When I was just a kid back in Abeline |
| I had to use a gun, well for my own sake |
| I shot a man down when I was just eighteen |
| And from that day they call me Shaky Jake. |
| Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do? |
| Texas Rangers coming after you |
| Here’s the price you pay for one mistake |
| So get off the streets, it’s Shaky Jake. |
| Ma says I was born under bad sign |
| I was lookin' for the chance to make or break |
| I cut my teeth on a brandin' iron |
| I’m the devil’s own son, I’m Shaky Jake. |
| Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do? |
| Texas Rangers coming after you |
| Here’s the price you pay for one mistake |
| So get off the streets, it’s Shaky Jake. |
| I keep on the run now |
| I travel by night |
| I don’t need anyone |
| But someone, one day, somewhere’s gonna see me right. |
| Dig a hole about six foot deep |
| Pray the Lord my soul to take |
| I don’t want flowers and nobody’s gonna weep |
| Here lies that outlaw, Shaky Jake. |
| Oh Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do? |
| Texas Rangers coming after you |
| Here’s the price you pay for one mistake |
| So get off the streets, it’s Shaky Jake. |
| Shakey Jake |
| Shakey Jake |
| Shakey Jake |
| Shakey Jake |
| Shakey Jake |
| Shakey Jake. |
| Oh Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do? |
| Texas Rangers coming after you |
| Here’s the price you pay for one mistake |
| So get off the streets, it’s Shaky Jake. |
