Stone Cold Dead In De Market

Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald

He's stone-cold dead in de market

He's stone-cold dead in de market

He's stone-cold dead in de market

I killed nobody but me husband



Last night I went out drinking

When I came home, I gave her a beating

So she catch up the rolling pin and went to work on my head

Till she bash it in



I lie cold dead in de market

Stone-cold dead in de market

I lie cold dead in de market

She killed nobody but her husband



I lick him wit' thee pot and thee fryin' pan

I lick him wit' thee pot and thee fryin' pan

I lick him wit' thee pot and thee fryin' pan

And if I kill him, he had it coming



Man, he's stone-cold dead in de market

He's stone-cold dead in de market

He's stone-cold dead in de market

I killed nobody but me husband



My family they swearin' to kill her

My family they swearin' to kill her

His family they swearin' to kill me

And if I kill him, he had it coming



I lie cold dead in the market, child

Cold dead in the market, child

I lie cold dead in the market

She kill nobody but her husband



There is one thing that I am sure

He ain't goin' to beat me no more

So I tell you that I doesn't care

If I was to die in the electric chair



Man, he's stone-cold dead in de market

He's stone-cold dead in de market

He's stone-cold dead in de market

I killed nobody but me husband



Hey, child, I'm coming back and bash you on your head one more time



No, no, man, you can't do that



You stone-cold dead in de market, murderer

Stone-cold dead in de market, de criminal

He's stone-cold dead in de market

I killed nobody but me husband
