[Verse 1]
This here a song from back in the day
Nineteen hundred and sixty two
My woman put my black ass out in the cold
I said, "Baby, why you leavin'?"
She said, "Our love done gone cold"
Well, I waded through water, and I waded through mud
'Til I come to this place they calls the Bucket of Blood

[Verse 2]
You know that bartender gave me a dirty look and a dirty glass
I said, "Say, motherfucker, do you know who I am?"
He said, "Hell no, n***a! I don't give a God damn!"

[Verse 3]
I reached down in my pocket and pulled out my shiny .44
Shot that motherfucker twice—he hit the God damn floor
'Bout that time you could've heard the drop of a pin
That's when that bad motherfucker Billy Lyons walked in

[Verse 4]
'Bout that time a pimp eased up and turned out the lights
That's when I had ol' Billy Lyons dead in my sight
When the lights come back on old Billy gone to rest
I popped nine of my bullets in his motherfuckin' chest!
