There Would Be Hell to Pay

When all the ladies Heard that he was dead
 Some wore orange dresses And some wore red
 When all the ladies Heard that he had died
 He could hear them wailing All the way on the other side
 Police officer walked onto the plan
 Don't come any closer said Curtis to the man
 Curtis said to Delia as she turned to walk away
 You so very beautiful but you gonna die someday
 Judge he said to Curtis What's this noise about
 Curtis said these evil men are trying to put me out
 When all the ladies Heard that he was dead
 Some wore black dresses And some wore red
 He unhooked his revolver and pulled on his gloves
 Just before he folded King Queen Jack Ten Nine of clubs
 He saw Delia leaning over by the door
 Stood at the table and he pulled his forty four
 Delia started crying fell on her knees to pray
 Delia begged for mercy but there would be hell to pay
 When all the ladies Heard that he was dead
 Some wore orange dresses And some wore red
 When all the ladies Heard that he had died
 He could hear them wailing All the way on the other side
 Curtis said Your Honor what might be my fine?
 The judge said Poor boy you get ninety nine
 Other existence identity light
 Mojo come to my house then back into the night
 Delia was a gambling girl she would scream and shout
 She placed a rose at Mojo's tomb then blew the candle out
 When all the ladies Heard that he was dead
 Some wore orange dresses And some wore red
 When all the ladies Heard that he had died
 He could hear them wailing All the way on the other side
