Hard Luck Blues (aka Brother Jim Got Shot) 78 Version Songtext

Me and my brother, Jim, went into a restaurant one night;Through some other parties we got into a fight.Shot all the way through me, they killed my brother Jim;Shot all the way through me, they killed my brother Jim.Hard luck, hard luck, placed me on the spot;Jury said it wasn't me, my brother Jim got shot.Well, my wife, she had a mouth big enough for both.She got frightened in her sleep one night and a mouse ran down her throat.Hard luck, hard luck, placed me on the spot;Jury said it wasn't me, my brother Jim got shot.Got me a cat and a piece of cheese, I placed it on her chin.My wife got frightened in her sleep one night; she took rat, cat, and cheese all in.Hard luck, hard luck, placed me on the spot;Jury said it wasn't me, my brother Jim got shot.
