Humble Pie The Sad Bag Of Shaky Jake Lyrics

The Sad Bag Of Shaky Jake Lyrics

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

Here's the price you pay for one mistake

So get off the streets it's 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

I'm the devil's own son, I'm Shaky Jake

Shaky
Jake, boy, what you gonna do

Texas Rangers coming after you

Here's
the price you pay for one mistake

So get off the streets it's Shaky
Jake

I keep on the run now

I travel by night

I don't need
anyone

But someone, one day, somewhere's gonna see me right

Dig a
hole about six foot deep

Pray the Lord my soul to take

I don't want
flowers, and nobody's gonna weep

Here lies that outlaw, Shaky Jake

Oh, Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do

Texas Rangers coming after
you

Here's the price you pay for one mistake

So get off the streets
it's Shaky Jake

Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake

Oh, Shaky Jake, boy,
what you gonna do

Texas Rangers coming after you

Here's the price
you pay for one mistake

So get off the streets it's Shaky Jake
