Like Jesse James, uh-huh

I had a friend one time

Least I thought I did

He come to me Said, 'Johnny?'

Said, 'What man?'

'I'm outdoor'

I say, 'Yeah?'

I taken the cat in Get him a place to stay

And I found out

He goin''round town

Tellin’ev’rybody that he He got my wife

Then I gets mad

I goes to the cat

Like a good guy should

I said, 'Look man

'I'm gonna warn, you just one time'

Next time I warn you'

'I'm gonna use my gun'

'Cause I’m mad, I’m bad, like Jesse James

I’m so mad, I’m so mad.

I’m gonna ruin you this mornin'.

I’ve got three boys

Do my dirty work

Now, you don’t see me

I do the payin’off

After they take care of you

In their on way

They may shoot you

They may cut you.

They may drown you

I just don’t know

I don’t care

Long as they take care of you

In their on way

I’m so mad, I’m bad this mornin', like Jesse James.

They gon’take you right down

By the riverside

Now four is goin’down

Ain’t but three comin’back

You read between the line

We’re gonna have a deal

'Cause I’m mad, I’m bad, like Jesse James.

They gonna tie yo’hands

They gonna tie yo’feet

They gonna gag your throat

Where you can’t holler none

An cryin’won’t help you none

Set you in the water

Yeah, the bubbles comin’up.
