I'm Bad Like Jesse James Lyrics

Mhm, yeah
Mhm-mhm
I had a friend one time
Least I thought I did
He come to me
Said, 'Johnny?'
Said, 'What man?'
'I'm outdoor'

Mhm, mhm
Mhm, mhm
I taken the cat in
Get him a place to stay
And a bed to sleep in
And I found out
He goin' 'round town
Tellin' everybody that he
He got my wife

Then I gets mad
I goes to the cat
I said, 'Look man
'I'm gonna warn you, just one time'
Next time I warn you'
'I'm gonna use my gun'

'Cause I'm mad
And I'm bad
Like Jesse James

Mhm-mhm
I've got three boys
Do my dirty work
You don't see me
I'm the big boss
I do the payin' off
After the job is did
Mhm-mhm
They may shoot you
They may cut you
They may drown you

I don't know
'Cause I'm mad
And I'm bad
I'm bad
And sank you in the water
Yeah, the bubbles comin' up
Mhm-mhm
I'm gonna hold you down
Mhm-mhm
Yeah, the bubbles
Oh, oh, oh
Woah
