Somebody get my shotgun Somebody get my blade Sally's been layin' with another man And he's sleeping in my place Somebody get my shotgun Gonna shoot him sure as rain You can run as fast as you want to boy I'll kill you just the same Somebody get my pocket blade Gonna cut him don't you know You can try to hide all you want to boy There ain't nowhere to go Somebody get my shotgun Somebody get my blade Sally's been layin' with another man And he's sleeping in my place Now Sally don't go thinkin' That you got off so clean I'd kill you too if I had the nerve But I just ain't that mean So I go and get my murder tools I throw them in the lake Gonna steal me an automobile And drive so far away Now I am a fugitive I'm always on the run Sally told the policeman Exactly what I'd done I went and got my shotgun I went and got my blade Killed poor Sally's lover And I put him in the grave. Now all you ramblin' fellas You listen close to me That woman gonna bring you pain Your heart is gonna bleed But it ain't worth the trouble The sufferin' or the grief A bleeding heart is better than the penitentiary I killed Sally's lover One dark and dreary day Sally got another And I got sent away Somebody get my shotgun Somebody get my blade Sally's been laying with another man And I set him in his grave
