1
A bunch of wild boys was hanging around
2
At the local neighborhood saloon
3
And some cat kept dropping quarters down in the jukebox
4
Playing all the favorite tunes
5
And back by the bar playing cards looking hard
6
Was big bad Solomon Jones
7
And watching over his luck
8
Was the love of his life
9
Is the lady that was known as Simone
10
When out of the night which was dark and cold
11
Into the smoke-filled dimly-lit room
12
Stumbled in a thug
13
Who was smelling like bud
14
And his eyes looked high as the moon
15
He looked like a man with his foot in the grave
16
And his lifetime about to be out
17
Yet he slapped down some hundred-dollar bills on the bar
18
And he yelled out "drinks on the house"
19
Now nobody could place where this dude was from
20
But we knew that he was far from home
21
But we drank to his health
22
And the last to drink was big bad Solomon Jones
23
Now there are some G's
24
Who just run the streets
25
And they live life in and out of jail
26
And such was he, that kind of OG
27
That looked like he'd been through hell
28
With his hair in cornrows
29
A mean mug grill
30
Like a dog who's day is done
31
He lit up the green stuff in his cigar
32
And took hits one by one
33
Now I got to thinking who this cat could be
34
And what the hell is- going on
35
Well I turned around and who was staring at him
36
The lady that was known as Simone
37
And the white t-shirt all stained with dirt
38
He was trying not to be rude
39
But he was trying to find another
40
Good song on the jukebox
41
So he could just set the mood
42
Have you ever been out in the city streets
43
With the gang-made players so clear
44
Where the police and gangsters control the block
45
And gunshots is all that you hear
46
When the only sounds are the drums of war
47
And you left out in the cold
48
A half-dead man in a half-dead world
49
And a yellow-brick road to go
50
Then all of a sudden the music changed
51
And everyone just held their post â?¨But it felt like a life had been robbed from you
52
And everything that you held close
53
í‚?¨That someone has stolen the women you love
54
And that her love was a devil's lie â?¨That your heart was gone and the best thing that you could do is crawl away and die â?¨It's the painful cry of a man's despair deep down in his bones â?¨I guess misery enjoys company, said big bad Solomon Jones
55
And the stranger turned
56
And his eyes had burned
57
In a most peculiar way
58
And the white t-shirt that was stained in dirt
59
He sat in to watch me sway
60
Then his mouth had frowned up in this kind of grin
61
And he spoke in a voice so clear
62
"Boys you don't know who I am
63
And I know that you just don't care"
64
"Now I'ma say these words
65
'cause these words are true
66
And when I'm done here I'll be gone
67
But one of you boys is a shiesty dog
68
And his name is Solomon Jones"
69
Then I ducked my head
70
And the lights went out
71
And two guns blazed in the dark
72
Then I women swooned
73
And the lights came on
74
And the two men laced with the starch.
75
With a bullet in his head
76
And pumped full of lead
77
Was big bad Solomon Jones
78
What a thug from the street
79
Who was hoeing his heat
80
And who knows to that lady named Simone
