It’s Criminal!

Chain Gang:  Sam Cooke

Timothy, The Buoys

(If you haven’t heard the song, give a listen-

it will give you chills when it hits you what

they’re singing about)

The Night Chicago Died:  Paper Lace  (Al Capone vs. cops)

I think I’m going to kill myself, Sir Elton

ElPaso:  Marty Robbins  (He kills a guy in a gunfight over a young girl. Then, to make matters even worse, he steals someone's horse and flees the scene. Stealing a horse ranked with murder back then. A third crime was committed when he was gunned down by a bunch of cowboys. The path of true love rarely runs smooth.)

Doolin-Dalton, Eagles

Wolverton Mountain:  Claude King  (A likely future crime. Young man sets off to climb the mountain to claim his love, though he might die at the hands of a gun and knife wielding, angry, protective father. Good luck with that).

Over The Hills And Far Away - Gary Moore

It’s a similar tale as Long Black Veil, only this time it was a robbery. His pistol was found, but he couldn’t defend himself because he had been with a married woman. Meanwhile, his love prays he will return when he gets out of prison.

Riders On The Storm:  Doors

Shotgun, Jr Walker&the Allstars
