There Would Be Hell To Pay
Lyricist:T-bone Burnett
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 Mojos 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
