Bindled

I laid my Bindle down boys Laid my Bindle down Don’t know where it is boys Looked all over town Jolly found my Bindle boys Found it in Mary’s bed Don’t know when or where boys But, I’m as good as dead Jolly don’t stand no trash boys He don’t stand no trash Mary told him loud boys Told him in a flash I see him round the bend boys See him round the bend Say you’ll look me up boys I know this is my end My body’s in the grave boys Body’s in the grave Molding while you play boys Hope you can behave Bindle: A 1920's gangster slang word for a heroin wrapper. © Jan 2011 For Joe's "judgement" contest
