歌曲歌詞
Little Jesse was a gambler night and day
He used crooked cards and dice
Sinful guy good hearted but had no soul
Heart was hard and cold like ice
Jesse was a wild reckless gambler
Won a gang of change
Altho' a many gambler's heart he led in pain
What broke Jesse's heart while he was blue and all alone
His heart had even turned to stone
Police walked up and shot my friend Jesse down
Boys i got to die today
He had a gang of crapshooters and gamblers at his bedside
Here are the words he had to say:
Guess I ought to know
Exactly how I wants to go
(How you wanna go Jesse )
Eight crapshooters to be my pallbearers
Let 'em be veiled down in black
I want nine men going to the graveyard bubba
And eight men comin back
I want a gang of gamblers gathered 'round my coffin-side
Crooked card printed on my hearse
Don't say the crapshooters'll never grieve over me
My life been a doggone curse
Send poker players to the graveyard
Dig my grave with the ace of spades
I want twelve polices in my funeral march
