All the people down there
Yeah and it was a 44
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
Livin' for their whiskey, wine, and gin
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a
I heard a woman scream
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
Hey hey hey hey
Lord with a two-by-four
Nobody run"
Hey hey hey hey
Yeah and I peeped through the door
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
Hey hey hey hey
All the people down there
Somebody killed a crap shooter
Things was too hot down there
Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
I saw a cop standing
With his hand on his gun
All the people down there
He said, "This is a raid, boy
Couldn't stay very long
Killin' for their whiskey, wine, and gin
Livin' for their whiskey, wine, and gin
Yeah they took me away from that alley
Hey hey hey hey
'Cause he didn't shake, rattle, and roll
