Stone Cold Dead in the Market Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

He′s stone-cold dead in the market
He's stone-cold dead in the market
He′s stone-cold dead in the market
I killed nobody, but me husband

Last night, I went out drinking
When I came home, I gave her a beating
So, she catch up the rolling pin, and went to work on my head
'Til she bash it in

I lie cold dead in the market
Stone-cold dead in the market
I lie cold dead in the market
She killed nobody, but her husband

I lick him with the pot, and the fryin' pan
I lick him with the pot, and the fryin′ pan
I lick him with the pot, and the fryin′ pan
And if I kill him, he had it coming


Man, he's stone-cold dead in the market
He′s stone-cold dead in the market
He's stone-cold dead in the market
I killed nobody, but me husband

My family they′re swearin' to kill her
My family they′re swearin' to kill her
His family they're swearin′ to kill me
And if I kill him, he had it coming

He lie cold dead in the market, child
Cold dead in the market, child
I lie cold dead in the market
She kill nobody, but her husband

There is one thing that I am sure
He ain′t goin' to beat me no more
So, I tell you that I doesn′t care
If I was to die in the electric chair

Man, he's stone-cold dead in the market
He′s stone-cold dead in the market
He's stone-cold dead in the market
I killed nobody, but me husband

Hey, child, I′m coming back, and bash you on your head one more time
No, no, man, you can't do that


You stone-cold dead in the market, murderer
Stone-cold dead in the market, the criminal
He's stone-cold dead in the market
I killed nobody, but me husband
