Gilly Hines Lyrics – Mandrill

Gilly Hines Lyrics by Mandrill

Was a rough life in the city
Little Gilly
Was a rough life in the city
Little Gilly

Ewww-Ewww-Ewwww
Ewww-Ewww-Ewwww
Was a rough life in the city
Little Gilly

Once upon a time
There lived a boy named Gilly Hines
A lonely soul
He ain’t never, never had a home

Had a bed made of rocks and stone
And for soup, he owned a boat, Yeah
Little ‘ole Gilly Hines
Hit the road when he was nine

To find a better way
But he only knew to tag along
The fortune standing wrong
And hе was put in jail that year

Well, Well, Wеll
Don’t cry, Gilly Hines
Leave the past life, behind
Look to the future

If you find a little life in crime
Ooooo-oooo
The bottle saw him through
And the whole in the life he ever knew

Was Harlem’s way
Before a young man to survive
To the age of twenty-five
Can’t kill nothin’

Own nothin’
Die yet, ooo
I saw him last in Atlanta
He read the right hand

And he rocked and rolled bam
And when I asked him what he played
He just shortly looked away, ahh yeah
He**, He was a friend of mine

Well, Well, Well
Baby, Gilly Hines
You make a past life, behind
Down to zero

You do you do we fine
Yeah, and on his face
He wore a smile, who
Yea, She came into his life

Glowin’ {?}, Golden ice, Git her
Nothin so
And in the name of the Lord
A baby son is born

He was a happy baby
But as time
As time went on
Gilly drifted further away from home

And then one summer evening in July
He flirted with another woman, ahh
Gilly why, yeah
That night in a stir

On the way to a {?}
And the baby to cry
In the fear of passion
She rushed up to the bed

And put a gun to his head
Gilly Hines was dead
Yeah, Yeah
Gilly, Gilly Hines

{?} {?} the past life behind
He finally found peace
Peace of mind
Farewell Gilly Hines

{?} {?} the past life behind
It seemed like {?} finally found
A peace of mind
Yeah

Farewell Gilly Hines
You let the past life behind
Farewell Gilly Hines
You let your past life behind

{?} you finally found
Your peace of mind
Gilly
Well, Farewell Gilly Hines

Farewell, farewell, farewell
Farewell Gilly Hines
{?} Peace of mind
Finally found, peace of mind

Hmmmm
Finally found, peace of mind
Finally found
Yeah, Oooh

Finally found, peace of mind
Finally found, peace of mind
