Song Lyrics :-
Shakey Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shakey Jake

When I was just a kid back in Abeline
I had to use a gun, well, for my own sake
I shot a man down when I was just eighteen
And from that day they call me Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shakey Jake

Ma says I was born under bad sign
I was lookin' for the chance to make or break
I cut my teeth on a brandin' iron
I'm the devil's own son, I'm Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shakey Jake

I keep on the run now
I travel by night
I don't need anyone
But someone, one day, somewhere's gonna see me right

Dig a hole about six foot deep
Pray the Lord my soul to take
I don't want flowers, and nobody's gonna weep
Here lies that outlaw, Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake

Shakey Jake, boy, what you gonna do
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets it's Shakey Jake

  • Great Stuff!

  • @Bluematter2010 - Thanks very much and like your Chain Gang also. New Beige Fish video on my other channel, more planned so I've told. Steve :-)

  • I'm going to keep well away from Shakey Jake and his mate the Texas Ranger Steve.

    Look like two real 'mean critters' to me.

    Loved the Video. Made me laugh.

    Al

  • @albainbridge1 - Thanks Al, they may look like 'mean critters' but reckon they would be scared at your international blockbuster 'Ugly Squaking Parrot'. Will let you know after I send them the link. Glad this put a smile on your face, reckon that was the objective. And hey, thanks for signing the Stage Parades guestbook, appreciated kind sir. Steve :-)

see all

  • wow! I like this alot!

  • Steve, I'm VERY grateful to you for putting the video together to help me to promote John's music. You ALWAYS do a wonderful job - and this time is no exception.

    I'm so very sorry about the hiccups this morning. I really appreciate the trouble you went to. THANK YOU.

    Love, Donna. xo

  • Never heard this track before, even though was old enough of have heard the 'Humble Pie' original. The more I hear it, the more I like it. Good Luck to John and all success to all his future projects. Great photography Donna, some of the shots are fabtastic, that should read fantastic but for once the typo might be rightly left if you get my drift. Time to send for the posse.....

  • @phivosify

    It certainly did put a smile on my face Steve! I'll be interested to know how those ' Mean Criters' react to my International Blockbuster? They'll probably come to conclusion that they are watching a crack pot! Hopefully it will put a smile on their little faces. That's what I'm trying to do anyway.

    No probs. with the guest book. Great website!!

    All the best,

    Al
