The Sad Bag Of Shakey Jake (Live at The Whiskey A-Go-Go)

When I was just a kid back in Abeline
I had to use a gun, well, for my own sake
I shot a man down when I was just eighteen
And from that day they call me Shaky Jake
Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do

Texas Rangers coming after you

Heres the price you pay for one mistake

So get off the streets its Shaky Jake

Ma says I was born under bad sign
I was lookin for the chance to make or break
I cut my teeth on a brandin iron

Im the devils own son , Im Shaky Jake

Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do

Texas Rangers coming after you

Heres the price you pay for one mistake

So get off the streets its Shaky Jake

I keep on the run now

I dont need anyone
But someone, one day, somewheres gonna see me right

Dig a hole about six foot deep
Pray the Lord my soul to take

I dont want flowers, and nobodys gonna weep
Here lies that outlaw, Shaky Jake

Oh, Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Heres the price you pay for one mistake

So get off the streets its Shaky Jake

Oh, Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Shakey Jake

Texas Rangers coming after you

Heres the price you pay for one mistake

You know the streets its Shaky Jake
