Now Matthew was a country boy until one day he found That cheatin` folks was easier than plowin` his daddy`s ground He left his home back in Ohio, bound for Chicago`s town He crossed Big Jim and turned his back A bullet cut him down
And as he lay there dying He said "Will I see my Ohio?" In my reply I lied a bit And said I did not know
Now Jim McCall he was meek and small And to become a man He`d have to build himself up tall With fancy folks and land He threw some stones at honest friends And he got himself these things His children left him and he sneered "That`s what my kindness brings"
And on the south side he got lost He asked me where to go In my reply I lied a bit And said I did not know
Yes Miss Lazy Susan called me up She heard I stole the show In my reply I lied a bit And said I did not know In my reply I lied a bit and said I did not know
