Boiled in Lead - Madman Mora Blues lyrics

When he had the madman blues

They put him in St. Peter's

And they took away his shoes

They took away his shoes

And they took away his belt

They thought they knew

All about how a madman felt

They said he'd done the bottle

But he must have done the keg

'Cause he tore down a door

And he broke a policeman's leg

They put him into chains

And they marched him in the yard

They had three men pulling

And three men pushing hard

They put him in the cell

And he tore the place apart

But the madman blues went and

Broke that poor boy's heart
