Poor Kelly Blues lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Poor Kelly Blues lyrics Songwriters: Merriweather, Maceo; I went up on the mountain to see what poor Kelly done He killed his woman and didn t even attempt to run Up on the mountain just to see what poor Kelly done Well, he killed his woman and he didn t even attempt to run When I found poor Kelly, he was standing in the door With a thirty-two twenty and a forty-four When I found poor Kelly, he was standing in the door With a thirty-two twenty and a hard-hitting forty-four I asked him was he was sorry, he said, "Nobody know Just can t stand the way she was treatin me anymore Just couldn t stand the way she was doin me anymore She s a dirty-mistreater, she won t jive me no more" He said, "I know I loved her better than I did myself She misused me for somebody else She know I loved her better than I did myself Still she tried to misuse me for somebody else" "I know they gonna get me", he said, "But I know I don t care They may even send me to the electric chair I know they gonna get me but, babe, I don t care There s one consolation, they won t leave my woman here" song lyrics
