Three Dollar Hat

by The Dead Weather

on Dodge And Burn (2015)

I'm that bad man named Jackie Lee
Shooting everybody down with a .33
Jackie said, "Johnny can't you see?
That you love everybody but Jackie Lee?"

Johnny said to Jackie, "Don't take my life.
I got three young kids and a bad-ass wife."

Jackie told Johnny, "You're acting crazy.
What you know about having a baby?
You're crazy.

And what I care about your kids and wife?
You done stole my hat, I'm gonna take your life."
I'm that bad man named Jackie Lee
Shooting everybody down with a .33

There's a knife in my hand
And I'm going to stand and deliver
Why? Because I must erase your mind forever
And I will stand before I surrender
I'll fall back but I won't be the one to say
Wait up! Where you at?
I'm so much better then that
Three dollar hat

Jackie said, "Johnny, let's tit for tat
You want to trade your life for a three dollar hat?"
So They hung Jackie Lee at three o'clock
Left his hands laying there on the butcher block

He's that bad man named Jackie Lee
Shooting everybody down with a .33

Jackie and Johnny were sweethearts
Oh, what a love that they had
