Got a couple new picks and a new capo in the mail today, and they sounded good to me on a new (cheap) guitar I bought last month, so I recorded this tune and made a collage video as a backdrop to include the lyrics. It's a little macabre, I know, I'm a sucker for murder ballads.
Lyrics:
"Hacks and buggies" - a hack is a type of horse drawn carriage; that use of the word is archaic now for the most part.
"standin' on a corner readin' a bill" - this refers to a handbill, probably a 'wanted poster'
