[Lyric] Charley Cherry (Melvin "Lil' Son" Jackson)

If the shack get raided, ain't nobody run
If the shack get raided, ain't nobody run
You stay right here till Charley Cherry come

Well, he cut you if you stand, shoot you if you run
Well, he cut you if you stand, shoot you if you run
You better stay right here till Charley Cherry come

Now he arrested my brother, tied him to a tree
Now he arrested my brother, tied him to a tree
You could hear him crying, "Please don't murder me!"

Well now, Charley Cherry, meanest man I know
Well now, Charley Cherry, meanest man I know
Well, now you meet him in the morning, you don't know which way to go

Well now, where was you baby, when the wind blowed cold?
Well now, where was you baby, when the wind blowed cold?
Well now, you was in the bottom by the red-hot stove
