Well you're crazy, mama, with your ball and
chain
And your sawn off shotgun, your blown out
brains, yeah
You can scandalize me, scorn my name
You can steal my money and that don't mean
a doggone thing
Cause if you really think you can push it
I'm going to bust your knees with a bullet
You're crazy, mama
Ah yeah
Well your old time religion is just superstition
You're going to pay high prices for your sacrifices,
ah yeah
All your blood and thunder sure can't faze
me none
If you're going to keep on coming, I'm going
to take it all head on
And if you don't believe I'm going to do it
Just wait till you all get hit by (for the
thud of) that bullet
I'm coming to get you, boy
Don't think I ain't thought about it, it sure
make my shackles rise
Cold bloody murder make me want to draw the
line, yeah
Well you're crazy, mother, with your ball and
chain
You're plain psychotic, plain insane
You're crazy, mother
Yeah
