Leadbelly Duncan And Brady (version 1) Lyrics

Duncan And Brady (version 1) Lyrics

Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, little star

Up comes Brady in a 'lectric car

Got a mean look all 'round his eye

Gonna shoot somebody jus' to see
them die



Duncan, Duncan was tending the bar

In walked Brady
with a shining star

And Brady says, "Duncan you are under arrest"

And Duncan shot a hole in Brady's breast



Brady, Brady carried a
.45,

Said it would shoot half a mile

Duncan had a .44

That
what laid Mr. Brady so low



Brady fell down on the barroom
floor,

"Please Mr. Duncan don' shoot me no more"

Women all cryin',
ain't it a shame,

Shot King Brady, goin' shoot him again



"Brady, Brady, Brady, you know you done wrong

Walkin' in the room when
the game was goin' on

Knockin' down windows, breakin' down the door

Now you lyin' dead on the grocery [barroom] floor



Women all
heard that Brady was dead,

Goes back home and they dresses in red

Come a sniffin' and a sighin' down the street,

In their big mother
hubbards and their stockin' feet



'Cause he been on the job too
long
