[D]I h[G]ad a rich ol' uncle who
lived out in the past

He came to the jailhouse
[D]just to pay my [G]score
Oh,
I've been a wild girl, but
[D]I'll be wild [G]no more.
I [Em]don't know why my
mama didn't [G]want me,

I followed him to
Houston by
[D]God if I had [G]known

But I just couldn't let him rob [D]that bank [G]loan

[Verse 2]
I [Em]watched him walk up
to the teller's [G]window
He [C]pushed the note and

[Verse 3]
showed the gun he [D]wore

It's [Em]hard to tell what happened then
[C]Shrieking bells,

[Verse 5]
cops bursting in
[Am]Bullets flying through the corridor

[D]And my [G]love lay dying upon
[D]that marble [G]floor
