Crazy little child never got to see
All the pretty things in life
Had him put away, nothing they could say
Could ever make the pieces fit
Oh well, Daddy-o was rich, Mama was a bitch
Living wasn't easy in between
Behind his silent scream, little Jackson in his teens
Was planning his escape
He was a crazy little child, New Orleans Alley playground
Grimey-faced, he watched the hookers cry
Winos were his friends and when he talked to them
They said Jackson, boy, they'll get you by and by
Depression setting in, desperate, cool and quick
Jackson learned the ropes out on the street
Little candy stores, just picking locks and doors
Was practice for a two-bit future thief
ย
So Jackson went to Ritz and everyone was hip
Ritz ran all the rackets there in town
If you need another boy, a trigger or a blade
Well I'm the slickest cat around
And Ritz gave him the aisle, once over then he smiled
Yeah, I got something here in mind
If you meet me here at two, I think you'll like the view
Of that long green when you crack that safe tonight
He was a crazy little child, New Orleans Alley playground
Grimey-faced, he watched the hookers cry
Winos were his friends and when he talked to them
They said Jackson, boy, they'll get you by and by, that's right
Well, I'll wait for you outside and I'll be your ears and your eyes
And boy, you just slip in there and bring out all that loot
But Ritz was taken by surprise, couple of unsuspecting guys
And they left poor Jackson inside
ย
Questions there were few, in fact there were none
When those sheriff bullets start to fly
Lay dying on the floor with a smoking forty-four
He said I must admit the winos were right
Crazy little child never got to see
All the pretty things in life
We buried him today, nothing we could say
Could ever make the pieces fit, hey
I must admit the winos were right, oh
I must admit the winos were right, his last wise words
I must admit the winos were right
