Lyrics Leroy - Stop Light Observations

Leroy

Golden pocket watch, satin suit, he’s a looker
Roll a seven dice, speakeasies, and some hookers
He’s every man’s fear and every woman’s desire
Look Jacky in the eyes and set your soul on fire
In the back alley streets it’s the King Pin’s Town
Coppers turn them heads and let his deals go down
Hush hush tweety bird don’t make a peep
'Cause Jacky and his gang just walked out in the street
Barefoot overall jeans on the river
Oak paddle boat black man make deliver
Ole Leroy knows every cat’s name
He’s the hardest swamp shaker to ever play the game
In the shrimp boat creeks where the crew kept stock
Leroy packed the dope and rowed it out the docks
Hush hush tweety bird don’t make a peep
'Cause Ole Leroy just paddled in the creek
You can run the game and you can run the town
But when your time runs out
God’s gonna cut you down
Jacky heard the word that supply was low and a Gullah shrimp fisher was holdin'
up a load
Jacky threw a grin, grabbed a gal, and made a toast
Said, «Let's go rob a country hick’s ole riverboat»
So Jacky and his gang hopped quick and ditched the city
To go find Leroy in the Carolina Pretty
Tommy gun cocked bourbon rocks lookin' clean
Just a robbery ride down South 17
You can run the game and you can run the town
But when your time runs out
God’s gonna cut you down
Ole Leroy was on the coastal waterway
Pullin' up to a regular to lighten his day
Gave the goodies and made the money exchange
When Jacky pulled up in a Rolls with his gang
Boom boom bang, boom boom bang
And when the gun shots stopped and the smoke all cleared
No Leroy in sight and all Jacky could hear was
Jacky ran the game and Jacky ran the town
But Jacky’s time ran out
When ole Leroy cut him down
