Dillinger Has Got The Blues
Dale Houstman
A song that makes John Dillinger an analog of God.
……..
Dillinger Has Got the Blues
The police have traced His gun to you
Dillinger has got the blues
He’d go your bail but He’s broke too
Dillinger has got the blues
Faithfully you wait to see
If He will come and set you free
But He’s got troubles all His own
You can’t reach Him on the phone
The D.A. makes you come unglued
Dillinger has got the blues
He’d help you out but he’s old news
Dillinger has got the blues
Faithfully you watch that door
But He’s not coming anymore
He’s tied up with his business chums
He ain’t got time for dirty bums
His Son was sent to kill the fools
Dillinger has got the blues
They hung him up, till he got cool
Dillinger has got the blues
Faithfully you wear the yoke
But you can scream until you choke
He’s not coming ‘round no more
You’ll have to settle your own score
The animals still group in twos
Dillinger has got the blues
But none of them will group with you
Dillinger has got the blues
Dillinger has got the blues
Dillinger has got the blues
