West Pittston

The day before he died
the FBI came down here

They found somethin’.

He got so excited
                            he died.

You understand what I’m talkin’ about?

I know all the stuff was goin’ on.

I shouldn’t say nuthin’—
I saw the good he did
I saw the bad.

How many slips did he give people?

When Peach died—he had all the records.

We wuz lucky.

The next day
            he was down to Jerry
                                         lookin’ for a job.

Jerry’s a powerful man—all the livings and all.
They fear’d him.

Sure, they fear’d him.
        He was J C—Jesus Christ.
During the flood
     he ran all around tryin’ to help people.
What’d he get?
So the money he made
he had it commin’ to him.

Jimmy?    Jimmy?      Heh heh heh heh

He wanted me to DO stuff.
I told him no—

Then he died
and his son went to jail.

That was his own fault.

But he didn’t know
       half of what his father know’d.

Yeah, but he wasn’t payin’ attention—
he shoulda been payin’ attention.

I was promised all this stuff
       and I didn’t get nuthin’.

Nah—you wasn’t promised nuthin’—

they lied like a rug.
