| That old shoe was bound to walk now that man right out the door
|
| This old shoe is bound to walk now tell you what the reasons for
|
| This old dollar bought me nothing, this dollar sick and frail
|
| This dollar bought you something, now your man is free on bail
|
| (now your man is free on bail)
|
| Some old souls have the courthouse to see the justice done
|
| Some souls have the courthouse to let the wrong man run
|
| Some souls are bound for heaven, some souls are bound for jail
|
| Some souls can buy each other, and some souls are not for sale
|
| You take the life of poor, black Willie
|
| Take the life because you can
|
| Take the life of poor, black Willie
|
| And free another guilty man
|
| Take the life of poor, black Willie
|
| Take the life in Jesus' name
|
| Take the life of poor, black Willie
|
| And find another man to blame
|
| Do you have no heartbeat?
|
| Pounding inside?
|
| Do you have no heartbeat?
|
| With which to abide?
|
| Do you have no heartbeat?
|
| When you heard that he died?
|
| Did you have no heartbeat?
|
| Well, you take the life of poor, black Willie
|
| Take the life because you can
|
| Take the life of poor, black Willie
|
| And free another guilty man
|
| Take the life of poor, black Willie
|
| Take the life in Jesus' name
|
| Take the life of poor, black Willie
|
| And find another man to blame
|
| (do you have no heartbeat?)
|
| (do you have no heart?) |
