Cops And Robbers (Blues In Rhythm / 1964)
作词 : Ellas McDaniel
作曲 : Ellas McDaniel
As I was driving home along the boulevard late one night
I saw a guy in the corner bumming all alone
As I passed him by I heard him holler out
Hey
I slowed down to see what he said he said
Eh By any chance are you goin' my way
I said sure baby hop on in and give me a cigarette
Then he reached out in his pocket
And that was the moment I regret
Well now boy Reach for the sky
Because I don't understand sir
Don't you try no monkey business I got a stopper in my hand
An' then he said
You see this rock I got in my hand
This is a 38 pistol built on a 45 frame
It shoots tombstone bullets an' a ball and chain
He said
I ain't tryin' to shake you up but I just want you to know
If the cops start to crowding me in
You're gonna be the first to go
You just drive on just like there ain't nothin' happenin'
That's what he told me he wouldn't even let me look back at nothin'
And he said when you get to that red light
I want you to jump back your left and then switch back your right
He said
Now I want you to park up in that alley
Ah ah not that alley that one over there
And cool it behind that liquor store
And keep a sharp lookout at all times
While I sneak in that back door
That's what he told me
He said keep your foot on the gas
And always be on guard
'Cos when I come runnin' out the liquor store with all that money
He wanted me to mash on it real hard
He said
Now don't you come out of there an' try me a double crossed
Because it's murder when the heats on
Well now boy
Reach for the sky
Yeah but I don't understand sir
Don't you try no monkey business I got a stopper in my hand
Ooeee while I was sittin' there just tremblin'
A spotlight hit me dead in the face
An' a cop pulled up behind me and said
Move up a bit man for we want to take your place
An' then this guy come runnin' out of the store
With the money in his hand
And said Oh there you are
He made a mistake in the dark and ran and leaped in the police car
When they put the handcuffs on him
I said
Child your crime must have outgrew him
An' then they said
Yeh we gonna put him so far back in jail this time
That they're gonna have to pump air into him
Well now boy reach for the sky
Yeah but I said I don't understand sir
Don't you try no monkey business I got a stopper in my hand
