Chico Tab

by Lee Hazlewood


Chico
 
              		 	     
I was born and running wild, a victim of a woman child 
       		         		     	                 
She caused the death of three young men, I killed them all and would again
                              
They tried to touch my sweet Violet
                        		     
I put them in the ground and there they are yet
    					        
And every night I sit and listen why my mind runs
  					    	         
I see her face I hear her voice  and nearly come undone
She sings

Chorus:
           	                
Chico come on home, Chico come on home
                            	       
Chico come on home, you’ve been gone way too long

My souls locked in a private hell, my body is in a prison cell 
My mind’s a jungle full of fire, my heart’s a dungeon of desire
I kiss these prison walls so cold and wet 
Pretending they’re the lips of Violet
And every night I sit and listen why my mind runs
I see her face I hear her voice and nearly come undone
She keeps singing

Chorus
