Went up on the mountain

To see what poor Kelly done

He killed his woman

And he didn't even attempt to run

He killed his woman

And he did not even attempt to run

When I found poor Kelly

He was standing in the door

And in his hand

He had a hard hitting '44

And I even saw his woman

She was lying dead on the floor

I asked him was he sorry

He said: Nobody know

I just couldn't stand the way

She done treat me no more

She's mean, I'm mistreated

But she won't jive me no more

He said: I know they gonna get me

But really, I don't care

They might even send me

To the electric chair

But I've seen my constellation

And I, I didn't leave my woman, my woman here
