Wild Bill Jones

I went out one morning for to take a little walk

I walked upon that Wild Bill Jones

He was walking and talking by my true lover's side

I forbid him for to leave her alone

He said my age is just twenty-one

Too old to be controlled

I drew my revolver from my side

Destroyed that poor boy's soul

He kicked and he frowned and he fell to the ground

He gave one dying moan

I threw my arms around my true lover's neck

I said darling you'll be left alone

Oh please go tell mama what her little boy has done

Tell her please not to cry

For today I killed that Wild Bill Jones

Tomorrow her little boy will die

Yes tomorrow her little boy will die
