The Hitman Blues Band - Red Hook lyrics

I was running with the Red Hook crew Had no money not a thing to do I was running With the Red Hook crew No job no money not a thing to do Found a store, it was an Easy hit Back street alley where the Lamps weren't lit Empty store it was Such an easy hit Back street alley where the Lamps weren't even lit Broke the window and we Crawled on through Guard surprised us with his 22 Broke the window And we crawled on through Guard surprised with his little popgun 22 Swung my crowbar and I Hit his head Gave a cry and then he Fell down dead Took my crowbar Swung and hit his head He gave a cry then he Fell down stone cold dead Little Johnny cried "What have you done? Hear those sirens? We got to run" Little Johnny cried "Lord, what have you done? Sirens wailing, oh we got to run" They got Frankie Daly, they got Joe Magee, they got Little Johnny but they Ain't got me Got Frankie Daly, got old Joe Magee Got Little Johnny but So far, they ain't got me Goodbye Red Hook, I'm Western bound Deep in Texas where I Won't be found Goodbye Red Hook, I'm Western bound Deep in Texas where I Won't be found
