Poor Kelly Blues
Big Maceo Merriweather

I went up on the mountain to see what poor Kelly done

He killed his woman and didn't even attempt to run

Up on the mountain just to see what poor Kelly done

Well, he killed his woman and he didn't even attempt to run


When I found poor Kelly, he was standing in the door

With a thirty-two twenty and a forty-four

When I found poor Kelly, he was standing in the door

With a thirty-two twenty and a hard-hitting forty-four


I asked him was he was sorry, he said, Nobody know

Just can't stand the way she was treatin' me anymore

Just couldn't stand the way she was doin' me anymore

She's a dirty-mistreater, she won't jive me no more



He said, I know I loved her better than I did myself

She misused me for somebody else

She know I loved her better than I did myself

Still she tried to misuse me for somebody else


I know they gonna get me, he said, But I know I don't care

They may even send me to the electric chair

I know they gonna get me but, babe, I don't care

There's one consolation, they won't leave my woman here
