"Gangster Of Love" lyrics - SAM THE SHAM AND THE PHARAOHS

Jesse James and Frank James,
Billy Kid all the rest
Supposed to be some bad cats
Out in the West.
But when they dug me,
And my gangster ways,
They hung up their guns
And made it to the graves,

'Cause I'm the gangster of love
Yeah, in the morning, gangster of love.
When I walk down the street
All the girls that I meet
Say "he's the gangster of love"

I robbed the local beauty contest
Of the first place winner,
They found us out in Hollywood
Eating the cheap hamburger dinner.
They tried to get her to come back
To pick up her prize.
She jumped up and howled:
"You just don't realize,

That he's the gangster of love"
Yeah, in the morning, gangster of love, mm!
When we walk in a bar
Girls from near and far
Say "he's the gangster of love"

Yeah, listen, baby!

I jump in my white horse Cadillac,
Race across the border line,
Rope 65 women,
Kiss them all at the same time.
Take 25 or 30,
Put 'em all in a freight,
A million dollar reward for me
Each and every state.
Sheriff says to me
"Is you Sam the Sham?"
I say "yes sir brother boss,
And that's your wife on the back of my horse"

'Cause I'm the gangster of love,
Yeah, in the morning, gangster of love.
When we walk down the street
All the girls that we meet
Say "he's the gangster of love"
