I'm Mad Again
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.
I had a friend one time, at least I thought I did
Taken that man in my house, give him my food,
over my table, that I couldn't afford
He come to me, he said "Johnny, ain't got no place to stay"
I said "Yes man, come to my house"
I get you a place to stay, and a bed to sleep in,
that I couldn't afford
When I found out, you with my wife,
now I'm mad, like Al Capone
Well I warned you one time,
next time I warn you,
I'm gonna use my gun on you
'Cause I'm mad with you, hahaha
I'm mad with you, like Al Capone
Look man, I told you one time before
But this time, I'm gonna teach you,
a little lesson, you won't forget
Take this man, right down by, the riverside
I might drown you,
I might shoot you,
I don't know
gonna tie your hands, gonna tie your feet
gag you so you can't talk to nobody
I'm mad, rrrrr, I'm mad with you
you're sinkin', I'm mad
