Grateful Dead - Dupree`s Diamond Blues слова песни
When I was just a little young boy,
Papa said son, you`ll never get far,
Tell you the reason, if you wanna know,
Cause child of mine, there isn`t really far to go.
Well, baby baby wants a gold diamond ring,
Wants it more than any old thing,
Well when I get those jelly-roll blues,
Why I go and get anything in this world for you.
Down to the jewelry store packin` a gun,
Says, "Wrap it up I think I`ll take this one."
"A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said,
Dupree said, "I`ll pay this one off to you in lead."
Well you know son, you just can`t figure,
First thing you know you`re gonna to pull that trigger,
And it`s no wonder, your reason goes bad,
Jelly-roll will drive you so mad.
Judge said, "Son, it`s gonna cost you some time."
Dupree said, "Judge you know that crossed my mind."
Judge said, "Fact it`s gonna cost you your life."
Dupree said, "Judge you know that seems to me to be about right."
Baby baby you gonna lose her sweet man,
Dupree come out with a losin` hand,
Baby`s gonna weep it up for a while,
Then go out and find another sweet man`s gonna treat her with style.
Judge said, "Son, I know your baby well,
But that`s a secret I can never tell."
Dupree said, "Judge well it`s well understood,
But you got to admit that sweet Jelly`s so good."
Well you know son, you just can`t figure,
First thing you know you`re gonna to pull that trigger,
And it`s no wonder, your reason goes bad,
Same old story and I know it`s been told,
Some like Jelly Jelly, some like gold,
Many a man`s done a terrible thing
Just to get, baby a shinin` diamond ring.
