There Would Be Hell To Pay Lyrics - The True False Identity - T Bone Burnett

[Chorus:] 

When all the ladies heard that he was dead 

Some wore orange dresses 

And some wore red 

When all the ladies heard that he had died 

He could hear them wailing 

All the way on the other side 

Police officer 

Walked onto the plan 

Don't come any closer 

Said Curtis to the man 

Curtis said to Delia as she turned to walk away 

You so very beautiful but you gonna die someday 

Judge he said to Curtis 

What's this noise about 

Curtis said these evil men 

Are trying to put me out 

[Chorus] 

He unhooked his revolver and pulled on his gloves 

Just before he folded King Queen Jack Ten Nine of clubs 

He saw Delia leaning over by the door 

Stood at the table and he pulled his forty four 

Delia started crying fell on her knees to pray 

Delia begged for mercy but there would be hell to pay 

[Chorus] 

When all the ladies heard that he had died 

He could hear them wailing 

All the way on the other side 

Curtis said Your Honor 

What might be my fine? 

The judge said Poor Boy 

You get ninety nine 

Other existence identity light 

Mojo come to my house then back into the night 

Delia was a gambling girl she would scream and shout 

She placed a rose at MojoÕs tomb then blew the candle out 

[Chorus] 

When all the ladies heard that he had died 

He could hear them wailing 

All the way on the other side
