The Lyrics
He’s a compelling dude,
Dressed to the nines.
He wasn’t caught, so West he flew,
But he’s lyin’
’bout widows dyin’.
You know, he strangled ’em
And then he skipped town.
Cops couldn’t wrangle ’im.
He lams—in Santa Rosa he’s found.
There he’s a fella who’s
Considered fine,
Just fine.
His niece knew:
He’s askew
Demands: “You,
say adieu—cut out now!
Just go back there
And stop haunting me.
I’ll tell, I vow!
You hear me?!!”
Off the train fell the dude. . .
End of the line.
Dressed to the nines.
He wasn’t caught, so West he flew,
But he’s lyin’
’bout widows dyin’.
You know, he strangled ’em
And then he skipped town.
Cops couldn’t wrangle ’im.
He lams—in Santa Rosa he’s found.
There he’s a fella who’s
Considered fine,
Just fine.
His niece knew:
He’s askew
Demands: “You,
say adieu—cut out now!
Just go back there
And stop haunting me.
I’ll tell, I vow!
You hear me?!!”
Off the train fell the dude. . .
End of the line.
