Angry Johnny and The Killbillies
Am F
Bruce and Ed and I walked into Old Pappy's Foodmart
G F Am
Bruce and Ed were brothers and they were not very smart
Am F
But I needed some men fast to help me with this one big score
G F Am
Then I'd never have to rob another grocery store
Am F
Fill the bag with money I said to the cashier
G F Am
Fill the bag with money honey and we'll get out of here
Am F
But somebody tripped the alarm and then all Hell broke loose
G F Am
The bag boy he pulled out a gun and blew a hole through Bruce
Am F
Ed caught the bag boy in the chest with both barrels from his twelve
G F Am
The bag boy flew back twenty feet into the produce shelf
Am F
That was for my brother Ed shouted through his tears
G F Am
Now we faced the electric chair instead of 15 years
Am F
I grabbed that bag of money and I headed for the door
G F Am
I didn't wanna die in some stinking grocery store
Am F
But the parking lot was already crawlin' thick with cops
G F Am
That what you get when you rob a store 'round the corner from the donut shop
Am F
Sheriff Big Dick Turner he was runnin' the whole show
G F Am
He said throw your guns down come on out boys let them people go
Am F
You boys don't stand a chance your little heist has failed
G F Am
But I knew Big Dick Turner and we'd never reach his jail
Am F
Ed looked up through the window just to see what was going on
G F Am
A bullet pierced his forehead and the back of Ed's head was gone
Am F
The cashiers they were screaming Ed's brains were everywhere
G F Am
It seemed Big Dick was right there was no gettin' out of there
Am F
A car pulled up some folks got out - it was my mom and dad
G F Am
My daddy yelled out kid you're the worst son I ever had
Am F
You're really in it this time you're really in it deep
G F Am
I hope they blow your head off you good for nothing creep
Am F
Sheriff Big Dick Turner yelled get 'em out of here
G F Am
And I sent the cashier to the stock room to bring me back some beer
Am F
The family plan had failed plan B was coming soon
G F Am
I was starring in my very own Dog Day Afternoon
Am F
Then they brought a woman out my true love Madeline
G F Am
She left me seven months before and I hadn't seen her since
Am F
She left me for the bouncer at the bowling alley bar
G F Am
She left him two weeks later for some guy who sold used cars
Am F
She said Franky please come out of there you're in an awful jam
G F Am
Franky please come out of there and we can start again
Am F
While you're away in prison I will wait faithfully
G F Am
Franky I do love you please come on out for me
Am F
Well I knew that she was lying 'cause she never told the truth
G F Am
I knew that I would get the chair they'd never let me loose
Am F
But for my true love Madeline I threw my gun out on the ground
G F Am
I hollered Big Dick Turner I'm coming out please don't cut me down
Am F
Well they didn't give me death they gave me 60 years
G F Am
So I think it's safe to say that I'll be dying in here
Am F
And Madeline and Big Dick Turner they're the hottest thing in town
G F Am
I was a love sick fool when I had the chance I should've shot them down.
