[Verse 1]
EmCrazy little child
CNever got to see
EmAll the pretty things in lBife
HB7ad him put away
EmNothing they could say
Could eCver make the pieces fBit
Aw well, DEmaddy-o was rich
CMama was a bitch
EmLiving wasn't easy in bBetween
B7Behind his silent scream
EmJackson, in his teens
Was pClanning hBis escEmape
[Chorus]
He was a crGazy little child
New ODrleans Alley playground
D7Grimy faced
HD7e watched the hookers cEmry
WGinos were his friends and wDhen he talked to them
They said, "JD7ackson, boy, they'll get you by and Bby"
[Verse 2]
EmDepression settin' in
CDesp'rate, cool and quick
EmJackson learned the ropes out on the stBreet
LB7ittle candy stores
JEmust pickin' locks and doors
Was pCractice for a twBo bit petty tEmhief
So JEmackson went to Ritz
And eCv'ryone was hip
EmRitz ran all the rackets there in tBown
If you nB7eed another boy
A trEmigger or a blade
EmWell, IC'm the slickest cat aBround
Yeah, REmitz gave him the eye
Once oCver, then he smiled
"EmYeah, I've got something here in mBind
If you mB7eet me here at two
I thEmink you'll like the view
Of that long grCeen when you crBack that safe toniEmght"
[Chorus]
He was a crGazy little child
New ODrleans Alley playground
D7Grimy faced
HD7e watched the hookers cEmry
WGinos were his friends and wDhen he talked to them
They said, "JD7ackson, boy, they'll get you by and Bby" that's right
[Verse 3]
EmWell, I'll wait for you outside
And I'll be your eCars and your eyes
And boy, yEmou just slip in there and bring out all that lBoot
But Ritz was tB7aken by surprise
Couple of uEmnspected guys
And they leCft poor JacBkson inEmside

[Verse 4]
QEmuestions there were few
In fCact there were none
WEmhen those Sheriff's bullets start to fBly
He lay dyB7ing on the floor
With a smEmokin' forty-four
He said, "I mCust admit the wBinos were rEmight"
EmCrazy little child
NCever got to see
AEmll the pretty things in lBife
We buB7ried him today
NoEmthing we could say
Could eCver make the pieces fBit
Yeah, I mCust admit the wBinos were rEmight
Oh, I mCust admit the wiBnos were riEmght
His last woCrds were
I must admit the winBos we-ere riB-ightB C Em
