dreamed I killed Will Kane,
Caught him down on the wind.
Just as he done it cleanly,
And walked away scot -free.
Judge Carney called five witnesses in all
That's why, you see, I thought it up to me
To be the end of Will King
Do you think it makes me mad
Would you call me a killer in the first degree
If I said I killed Will King?
Witness Roy Behan failed to take the stand
He never made his train to trial
He said, I was out of my head
Three more could not recall
just who or what they saw
They denied they knew keen at all
That's why I thought it up to me
Do you think it makes me mad
Would you call me a killer in the first degree
if I said I killed Lil' Keen?
Keen cuts the ear and tongue out of
anyone who speaks of what he's done
If he calls you off the street,
Keen will throw them at your feet
But the tongue has fallen out,
And the years are turned to the ground
I heard from a confidant,
Willie gets what Willie wants
That's why I thought it up to me
Do you think it makes me mad
Would you call me a killer in the first degree
If I said I killed Will King?
I'm the last they would suspect
by my accent and the dress
For seeing Willie never grows old
Who steps in would never rest,
knowing that they could be next
I resolve it grows by degrees
Last night I dreamed I killed Willie King
And walked away scot -free
Do you think it makes me mad
Would you call me a killer in the first degree
If I said I killed Will King?
