Poor Kelly Blues (Big 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"
