Poor Kelly Blues Lyrics - Singles - Big Maceo

I went up on the mountain to see what poor Kelly done 

He killed his woman and didn't even attempt to run 

Up on the mountain just to see what poor Kelly done 

Well, he killed his woman and he didn't even attempt to run 

When I found poor Kelly, he was standing in the door 

With a thirty-two twenty and a forty-four 

When I found poor Kelly, he was standing in the door 

With a thirty-two twenty and a hard-hitting forty-four 

I asked him was he was sorry, he said, "Nobody know 

Just can't stand the way she was treatin' me anymore 

Just couldn't stand the way she was doin' me anymore 

She's a dirty-mistreater, she won't jive me no more" 

He said, "I know I loved her better than I did myself 

She misused me for somebody else 

She know I loved her better than I did myself 

Still she tried to misuse me for somebody else"
