There's a rumour going roung this place

That you've been hanging around

If I find out that it's true

I'm telling you

Gonna put you in the ground



There's a kind of misty morning

As I'm looking out 'cross town

Thinking 'bout my friends

Remembering what they said

An' making me feel like a real lowdown



Well I saw that smoke stack lightning

When you pushed me to the brink

You got me worried, you got me mean

And when I'm mean I drink



And then a lot of wild talk was flying

About a tall cat sleeping around

Well I dunno who he is but I'm telling you this

When I catch up with him I'm gonna mow him down



When I get there tonight you better be back home

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

an' when I get there tonight you better be alone

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

'cos when I get there tonight I'm gonna be insane

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

I've had enough of your lip gonna cause you some pain

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

I'm gonna jump on a train



Now you've burned out all my money

Just as much as you could take

And then your love turned bad and now I'm mad

'cos I made a big mistake

But if you think I'm gonna take it

Lying down like a dog

Well you'd better think again

I'll fix you up for good

I told you I would

And I'm just about to jump on a real fast train



When I get there tonight you better be back home

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm

When I get there tonight you better be alone

There's an ill wind blowing and it's bringing a storm
