Alison Krauss & Union Station - Wild Bill Jones Lyrics
As I went down for to take a little walkI came upon that Wild Bill JonesHe was a walkin and a talkin by my true lovers sideAnd I bid him to leave her alone.--- Banjo Instrumental ---He said my age is twenty oneToo old to be controlledI pulled my revolver from my sideAnd I destroyed that poor boys soul.--- Mandolin Instrumental ---He reeled and he staggered and he fell to the groundAnd then he gave one dying moanHe wrapped his arms around my little girls neckSaying, "Honey, wont you take me home?"--- Guitar Instrumental ---So put them handcuffs on me boysAnd lead me to that freight car gateI have no friends or relations thereNo one for to go my bail.--- Fiddle Instrumental ---So pass around that old long necked bottleAnd well all go on a spreeToday I saw the last of Wild Bill JonesAnd tomorrowll be the last of me...
