Dead Man Walking

I'm gonna sing you a song about a man, by the end you'll want him dead
You won't bat an eye, you won't even cry, he deserves it for what he said

Oh, the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin' around
You'll want him dead for the things
He said, he's the dead man walkin' around

He took a gal to the movies one beautiful Saturday night
The room got dark, he turned to her and said, you look good in this light

Oh, the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin' around
You'll want him dead for the things
He said, he's the dead man walkin' around

Well, the day he met his neighbors at a backyard barbecue
Well, he looked at her and he said to him, she's half as lucky as you

Oh, the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin' around
You'll want him dead for the things
He said, he's the dead man walkin' around

He met a gal at a dance one night, they were waltzing together
She asked what he thought of her flowing dress, he said, nothing could be better

Oh, the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin' around
You'll want him dead for the things
He said, he's the dead man walkin' around

He had me sing him a song, it was the tale of a Wade McKee
He said, when you sing it sure sounds good, but you should try a different key

Oh, the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin' around
You'll want him dead for the things
He said, he's the dead man walkin' around

Oh, the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin', the dead man walkin' around
You'll want him dead for the things
He said, he's the dead man walkin' around
