Well, I met Sammy Samson down in New Orleans
He had a lot of money and a big limousine

He took us honky-tonkin' on a Saturday night

   A
We met Silly Milly, everything was all right

    E                        D
Her eyes started rollin', we shoulda went a-bowlin'
Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my A
      A
Well, Sam and Silly Milly, about a quarter to four
Was rompin' and a-stompin' on the hardwood floor
  D
A long came Flirty Mirty bargin' in on the fun

      A
Silly Milly got jealous and she pulled out a gun

E.                       D
Tables started crashin', forty-four's a-flashin'
Wham-bam, who shot Sam,
               D

      A
         Knockin' down the front door with a big long pole

      D
         Sammy was a lyin' on the cold-cold floor

      A
         Shot through the middle with a fourty-four

      E                  D

Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my
                A
Well, they took Silly Milly to the jail down town
Booked Silly Milly for a-shootin' old Sam
    D
The judge he gave her twenty, Milly said that's a lot

     A
You shouldn't give me nothing, he was already half shot

   E                        D
A drinkin' white lightnin' started all the fightin'
Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my
               D
         Well, the police, fire chief, highway patrol

      A
         Knockin' down the front door with a big long pole

      D
         Sammy was a lyin' on the cold-cold floor

         Shot through the middle with a fourty-four

      E                  D
         Milly was a-cryin', Sam was surely dyin'
Wham-bam, who shot Sam, my-my fade out...
