[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, nigga! 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!
