Chewing On His Bones
by Humming People

Album: Live At Halden Prison

The first time that I saw her
She wore a pretty dress
She had big bluish eyes
And a pearly necklace
Then he stole my girl
And that ain't right

Jesse Ann was her name
We laughed the night away
We danced hand in hand
Then she said I'm her man
Then he stole my girl
And I'm mad as hell

I climbed in my dirty Ford
I hauled an angry load
Revved the engine high
Sped down the outlaw road
Cause he stole my girl
He's gonna pay a price

Down the one lane road
I sped to get there soon
I found him at the gallows
Of the Crazy Horse Saloon
Cause he stole my girl
I'm gonna make it right

I ate my pills, I drank my whiskey
I got my aim, I know it's risky
Might go to hell, but it's worth
Chewing on his bones

Night-lights flashing bright
I walked up to the door
I stepped into the smoke
I was "going for broke"
I could feel a sudden hush
As I glanced around the room
I found him with the point
Of a patron's pool cue
Cause he stole my girl
Time to settle up

He was sitting at the bar
His head hanging low
He tipped back his drink
And then found me at the door
My hands were cold and wet
The room placed their bets
Next I swallowed hard
You can guess the rest
Cause he stole my girl
He's gonna feel hot lead
