Three Dollar Hat
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'm that bad man named Jackie Lee
Shooting everybody down with a .33
Jackie said Johnny can't you see?
That you love everybody but Jackie Lee?
Johnny said to Jackie don't take my life
I got three young kids and a bad-ass wife
Jackie told Johnny you're acting crazy
What you know about having a baby?
You're crazy!
And what I care about your kids and wife?
You done stole my hat, I'm gonna take your life
Ha-ha-ha
I'm that bad man named Jackie Lee
Shooting everybody down with a .33
Aah
There's a knife in my hand and I'm going to stand and deliver
Why, because I must erase your mind forever
There's a throat I must slit and I will stand before I surrender
I'll fall back but I won't be the one to say
Wait up, where you at?
I'm so much better then that
Three dollar hat
Jackie said Johnny lets tit-for-tat
You want to trade your life for a three dollar hat?
So they hung Jackie Lee at three o'clock
Left his hands laying there on the butcher block
He's that bad man named Jackie Lee
Shooting everybody down with a thirty-three
Jackie and Johnny were sweet hearts
Oh, what a love that they had
