Lyrics
Babe better get down on your knees and pray.
Just close your eyes.
Babe now it's time to cry.
Won't you come and testify?
Don't you let me die tonight.
Yeah I got them cold blooded blues.
Yeah I got them cold blooded blues.
Babe yeah I see the gallows from my cell.
And death I can smell.
Oh they'll hang me from that line unless you come testify.
Don't you let me die tonight.
Yeah I got them cold blooded blues.
Yeah I got them cold blooded blues.
Babe I'm dreaming with a gun.
Seeing all them things I done.
And all my last days been spent in this filthy cage.
Don't you let me die tonight.
Yeah I got them cold blooded blues.
Yeah I got them cold blooded blues.
