lyrics

Going to the store, and buying me a shovel
Got me a ten buck spade
That's a mighty deal now, saving me some money
Gotta do some digging today
Because I...
Murdered Benny Three Dice
Shot him in the moonlight
Told him not to come my way
People round been asking
Where did Benny get to?
Told them that he's gone away
Gone, gone, gone away

Chorus: Away x2

Momma's in the parlor
She's a-been a-crying
Benny was her sunny day
Shining on the left now
Shining on the right now
All I need's some god damn shade
Oh some god damn shade

Chorus: shade x2

These damn night frights been killing me
The same damn dream of murdering Benny
And johnny law's been looking for me
So I'm-a-gonna' drink till I'm free

Chorus: Free x2
