Killer Diller Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whether they're perfect or not, I don't know
I may have transposed some of them here and there
You're welcome to check it and correct it yourself
Take it or leave it
Well, the ugliest li'l thing you ever see before
He didn't be a tramp, he's a hobo
He's a ugly li'l somethin' on the scout
He's a terrible li'l creature hush yo' mouth
He's a awful li'l thing, he's a killer diller from the south
Well, he walked into the store where I was at
And in his face looked like a cryin' cat
Cause he's a ugly li'l sucker on the scout
He's a terrible li'l creature hush yo' mouth
He's a awful li'l thing, he's a killer diller from the south
Well, he walked down the street lookin in a showcase
His stacker walked out, said you can take my place
Cause he's a ugly li'l shaver on the scout
He's a terrible li'l somethin' hush yo' mouth
He's a awful li'l creature, he's a killer diller from the south
Well, he walked in the hotel, ever'body left
He looked in the glass and he smiled at his self
I'm a ugly li'l shaver on the scout
I'm a terrible li'l somethin' hush yo' mouth
I'm a awful li'l creature, I'm a killer diller from the south
