It’s Criminal!

Many people love reality or fictional crime shows. What songs are about crime? Either committed or thought about. I was surprised when I thought of this just how many there are. 

Hey Joe-Jimi Hendrix


 
Hey Joe I heard you shot your woman down You shot her down, now

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.

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).

I remember when that song came out. It was played on our local radio station ad nauseum! If I heard it again, it would be too soon! 😂

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.)

Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden

 

I’m waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime

Reflecting on my past life and it doesn’t have much time

”Cause at five o’clock they take me to the Gallows Pole

The sands of time for me are running low

Running low
