I'm Bad Like Jesse James - 1966/Live At Cafe Au Go Go)
Little thing, I'm going to do called
I'm bad like Jesse James
I'm bad
I'm bad
Like Jesse James, uh, huh
I had a friend one time
Least I thought I did hmm
He come to me
Said, "Johnny"
Said, "What man?"
I'm outdoor
I say, "Yeah!"
I'm takin' the cat in
Get him a place to stay
And I found out
He goin' 'round town
Tellin' everybody that he
He got my wife
And I'm just mad
I goes to the cat
Like a good guy should
I said, "Look man
I'm gonna warn you, just one time
Next time I warn you
I'ma use my gun"
'Cause I'm mad
I'm bad, like Jesse James
I'm so mad, I'm so mad
I'm gonna ruin you this mornin'
I've got three boys
Do my dirty work
Now, you don't see me
I'm the big boss
I do the payin' off
After they take care of you
In their on way
They may shoot you
They may cut you
They may drown you
I just don't know
I don't care
Long as they take care of you
In their on way
I'm so mad
I'm bad this mornin', like Jesse James
They gon' take you right down
By the riverside
Now four is goin' down
Ain't but three comin' back
You read between the line
We're gonna have a deal
'Cause I'm mad
I'm bad, like Jesse James
They gonna tie your hands
They gonna tie your feet
They gonna gag your throat
Where you can't holler none
And cryin' won't help you none
Go send you in the water
Yeah, the bubbles comin' up
Wow!
Rrrrrrr
Rrrrrrr
Oh yeah, I'm so mad!
I'm bad like Jesse James
I'm bad
I'm bad
Like Jesse James, uh, huh
I had a friend one time
