Look out, the gangster's back

I done traded in my old horse for a brand new Cadillac

I'm gonna play some blues

Cause I know you like that

Gonna get real loose

And do the jumpback jack



When I walk into a bar

Girls from near and far

Say I'm the gangster



Listen while a play for you

A crazy little thing called guitar blue

Red, black, yellow, or white

It don't matter mamas

You're all outta sight

Don't get too heavy

Now don't get uptight

Cause the gangster's here to turn on your light

You're my horse and you never win a race

And I dig you mama and your real crazy legs



When I walk into a bar

Girls from near and far

Say I'm the gangster



Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Go gangster (do do do do do)

Go gangster (do do do do)

Go gangster (do do do do do)

Go gangster (do do do do)

I'm a gangster



Started long time ago

Down in Texas where the guitars grow

Folks down there got all shook up

When I cut myself loose and did my stuff

Now it's ready, set

Ready, set go

Time for the gangster to start the show



Well, I'm lookin' for women

I'm on the road again

You know the gangster don't lose

He always win



When I walk into a bar

Girls from near and far

Say I'm the gangster



You better look out the gangster's back
