Loading...

was a rough life in the city
little gilly
was a rough life in the city
little gilly
ewww+ewww+ewwww
ewww+ewww+ewwww
was a rough life in the city
little gilly

once upon a time
there lived a boy named gilly hines
a lonely soul
he ain’t never, never had a home
had a bed made of rocks and stone
and for soup, he owned a boat, yeah

little ‘ole gilly hines
hit the road when he was nine
to find a better way
but he only knew to tag along
the fortune standing wrong
and hе was put in jail that year

well, well, wеll
don’t cry, gilly hines
leave the past life, behind
look to the future
if you find a little life in crime
ooooo+oooo
the bottle saw him through
and the whole in the life he ever knew
was harlem’s way
before a young man to survive
to the age of twenty+five
can’t k!ll nothin’
own nothin’
die yet, ooo

i saw him last in atlanta
he read the right hand
and he rocked and rolled bam
and when i asked him what he played
he just shortly looked away, ahh yeah
he++, he was a friend of mine

well, well, well
baby, gilly hines
you make a past life, behind
down to zero
you do you do we fine

yeah, and on his face
he wore a smile, who
yea, she came into his life
glowin’ [?], golden ice, git her
nothin so
and in the name of the lord
a baby son is born
he was a happy baby

but as time
as time went on
gilly drifted further away from home
and then one summer evening in july
he flirted with another woman, ahh
gilly why, yeah

that night in a stir
on the way to a [?]
and the baby to cry
in the fear of passion
she rushed up to the bed
and put a gun to his head
gilly hines was dead
yeah, yeah

gilly, gilly hines
[?] [?] the past life behind
he finally found peace
peace of mind
farewell gilly hines
[?] [?] the past life behind
it seemed like [?] finally found
a peace of mind

yeah
farewell gilly hines
you let the past life behind

farewell gilly hines
you let your past life behind
[?] you finally found
your peace of mind
gilly

well, farewell gilly hines
farewell, farewell, farewell
farewell gilly hines

[chorus]
[?] peace of mind
finally found, peace of mind

[singer]
hmmmm

[chorus]
finally found, peace of mind

[singer]
finally found
yeah, oooh

[chorus]
finally found, peace of mind
finally found, peace of mind
