Death Alley Blues

Death Alley Blues-Lee Green
Lee Green, piano and vocal
NOTE: The song was mis-titled, since Lee Green clearly sings "Death Valley".

INTRO

I'm going down in Death Valley, nothin' down there but clubs and bones
Goin' down in Death Valley, nothin' down there but clubs and bones
If you see my sweet baby, please tell her the way that I'm gone

With my sword in my hand, my gun loaded round and round
My sword in my hand, my gun loaded round and round
I'm gonna battle, I'm gonna battle, some bad fool, carry me down

Lord, I've got tired, everybody tryin' to dog me 'round
Lord, I've got tired, everybody tryin' to dog me 'round
Sooner be dead and sleepin', baby, in the ground

Now, dear old Mister Jailer, you can do anything you want with me
Dear old Mister Jailer, do anything you want with me
When I get through battlin', Mister Jailer, goin' back to my used-to-be

Lord, down in Death Valley, bloody skulls and bones
Down in Death Valley, bloody skulls and bones
My sweet woman be cryin', be cryin', she found out where that I'm gone
