Ralph Stanley – Wild Bill Jones chords

[Intro]
GAs I went out for to take a little walk
                 D         GI came upon that Wild Bill Jones
GHe was walkin' and a-talkin' by my true lover's side
                 D         GAnd I bid him to leave her alone

[Verse]
GHe said, "My age is twenty-one,
      D           GToo old to be controlled."
GI pulled my pistol from my side
                     D          GAnd I destroyed that poor boy's soul

[Verse]
GHe reeled and he staggered then he fell to the ground
                 D         GAnd then he gave one dyin' moan
GWell, he wrapped his arms around my little girl's neck
                       D       GSaid "Honey, won't you take me home."

[Verse]
GSo put them handcuffs on me boys
                    D           GAnd lead me to that freight car gate
GI have no friends or relations there
              D     GNo one for to go my bail

[Verse]
GSo pass around that ol' longneck bottle
            D         GAnd we'll all go on a spree
GToday saw the last of Wild Bill Jones
                       D       GAnd tomorrow'll be the last of me
