Murder Ballad No. 4

Well

Have ya heard the news
About the man with the blues
I've heard he's not doin' so good

It's been a month or another
Since a car-crash lover
Sent his woman flying into the woods

Well, that's just what'cha get
When you don't take care
And your shoulders aren't
Screwed to your head

So put on a black dress
And get me my suit vest
Cause Ola LeLion is dead

Well, they say that it happened
After she got done slappin'
Her man for foolin' around

With Lollipop and Peggy Sue
Out by the old bayou
On the outskirts of the town

Well, it worked into a frenzy
With the cut of the brakes
And an oven full'o
Fresh-baked bread

Now Peggy Sue's locked up
Lollipop is knocked up
And Ola LeLion is dead

OKAY PLAY THAT THING

Well I know this kinda thing
Happens every day
But still I can't help
But think it's insane

Throwing out someone full of
Love and joy
For someone who thinks
Life is a game

(That's Low)

Have you heard the news
About the man with the blues
I heard he cries his eyes out
'Til they're dry

It's been a month or another
Since a car crash lover
Sent his woman flyin' into the sky

Well, that's just what'cha get
When you don't take care
And your shoulders aren't
Screwed to your head

So put on a black dress
And get me my suit vest
Cause baby

Ola LeLion

Is dead
