I Killed Sally's Lover

Lyrics

Somebody get my shotgun
 Somebody get my blade
 Sally's been layin' with another man
 And he's sleeping in my place
 Somebody get my shotgun
 Gonna shoot him sure as rain
 You can run as fast as you want to boy
 I'll kill you just the same
 Somebody get my pocket blade
 Gonna cut him don't you know
 You can try to hide all you want to boy
 There ain't nowhere to go
 Somebody get my shotgun
 Somebody get my blade
 Sally's been layin' with another man
 And he's sleeping in my place
 Now Sally don't go thinkin'
 That you got off so clean
 I'd kill you too if I had the nerve
 But I just ain't that mean
 So I go and get my murder tools
 I throw them in the lake
 Gonna steal me an automobile
 And drive so far away
 Now I am a fugitive
 I'm always on the run
 Sally told the policeman
 Exactly what I'd done
 I went and got my shotgun
 I went and got my blade
 Killed poor Sally's lover
 And I put him in the grave.
 Now all you ramblin' fellas
 You listen close to me
 That woman gonna bring you pain
 Your heart is gonna bleed
 But it ain't worth the trouble
 The sufferin' or the grief
 A bleeding heart is better than the penitentiary
 I killed Sally's lover
 One dark and dreary day
 Sally got another
 And I got sent away
 Somebody get my shotgun
 Somebody get my blade
 Sally's been laying with another man
 And I set him in his grave
