Lyrics Robben Ford – Poor Kelly Blues
Text:
Going up on the mountain to see what Poor Kelly done
He killed his woman, didn’t even attempt to run
Going up on the mountain to see what Poor Kelly done
He said he killed his woman, didn’t even attempt to run
When I found Poor Kelly he was standing in the door
With a 32.20 and a 44
When I found poor Kelly, man he was standing in the door
He had a 32.20 and a hard hitting 44
When I asked him if he was sorry he said no brother no
Couldn’t stand the way she treated me anymore
When I asked him if he was sorry he said no brother no
She was a mean mistreater and she won’t do that anymore
He said I know they’re gonna catch me, but brother I don’t care
You know might even put me in the electric chair
He said I know they’re gonna catch me, but brother I don’t really care
‘Cause I’ve got one consolation, they won’t leave that woman here
