[Verse 1]
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 jump back jack

[Refrain]
When I walk into a bar
Girls from near and far
Say I'm the gangster

[Verse 2]
Listen while I 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

[Refrain]
When I walk into a bar
Girls from near and far
Say I'm the gangster

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
When I walk into a bar
Girls from near and far
Say I'm the gangster

[Outro]
You better look out, the gangster's back
Thank you, thank you
