SOLO

Eh, liquor and a gun caused me to ache and pain
Eh, liquor and a gun caused me with this achin' pain
And they give me six to twenty years on DeKalb County gang

And I'll tell all you people, that ain't no place to go
And I'll tell all you people, that ain't no place to go
Well, they treat you cruel, dog you from morning to night

SOLO

Well, they beat me and they slashed me, .45 in my side
Well, and they beat me and they slashed me, .45 in my side
I got dry from hot, mama, workin' all day long

Bring the rings, chains from around my leg
Take these rings and chains from around my leg
But I b'lieve, be long, they's gonna kill me dead
