Well my name, it is Lee Im a yeg and a thief Ive picked every lock this side of hell And Im doing swell Although lordy lordy knows only time will tell Where I sleep I dont care Like to smoke, like to swear I can drink any rounder to his knees Another whiskey please Shoot a ten dollar piece at a thousand feet When I make my way back Few more miles down the track Saw a lady ? she smiles at me A little bumblebee Shes sweet like honey but she sure can sting Through the rain and the snow Imma book a telo By a pull of a silver in my jeans And a couple of dreams I can pull us on down to New Orleans I got drunk I got loud I got kicked outta town Sheriff said We dont want your kind round here Do I make that clear? So I went to speak with the engineer Im in need of a train Take me back where I came Make it Long, make it fast and let her go Let the whistle blow So every hot weather tramp knows when to go
lordy, yeg, telo, bumblebee, make
