WHO SHOT SAM

(Edwards-Jackson-Jones)

RELEASED ON   
 WHO SHOT SAM

 

Well I met Sammy Samson down in New Orleans

He had a lot of money and a big limousine

He took us honky tonkin' on a Saturday night

We met Skinny Minny everything was all right

Her eyes started rollin', we should a went a bowlin'

Wham-bam (who shot Sam, my-my)

 

Well Sam and Skinny Minny 'bout a quarter to four

Went rockin' and a rollin' on a hardwood floor

In walked Flirty Myrtie bargin' in on the fun

Skinny Minny got jealous and she pulled out a gun

Tables started crashin' fourty-four's a flashin'

Wham-bam (who shot Sam, my-my)

 

Well the police, fire chief, highway patrol

Knockin' down the front door with a big long pole

Sammy was a lyin' on the cold cold floor

Shot through the middle with a fourty-four

Minny was a cryin' Sam was surely dyin'

Wham-bam (who shot Sam, my-my)

Well they took Skinny Minny to the jail downtown

Booked Skinny Minny for a shootin' old Sam

The judge he gave her twenty, Minny said that's a lot

You shouldn't give me nothing he's already half shot

A drinkin' white lightnin' started all the fightin'

Wham-bam (who shot Sam, my-my)

 

Well the police, fire chief, highway patrol

Knockin' down the front door with a big long pole

Sammy was a lyin' on the cold cold floor

Shot through the middle with a fourty-four

Minny was a cryin' Sam was surely dyin'

Wham-bam (who shot Sam, my-my)
