Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, the first time I shot Ella
I shot her through the side
Second time, I could not tell where
[Verse 2]
But the third time I shot her
I shot her through the head
You know that shot musta killed poor Ella dead
[Verse 3]
When they all got the news
That Ella Speed was dead
They goes home and dresses up in red
[Verse 4]
There was two white horses
Side in side
Gonna take Ella for a last flowery ride
[Verse 5]
Ella, 'fore she died
Last words she said
Tell my sisters, "Please don't do like me"
[Verse 6]
That's fall in love
With everyone
With everyone that you see
[Verse 7]
One of these mornings
While you're havin' fun
Somebody gon' do like Ella done
[Verse 8]
Now, Ella, she went out
Just to have some fun
She got shot down with a Colt .41
[Verse 9]
Well, they shot Ella once
Didn't shoot her no more
She staggered across the ballroom floor
[Verse 10]
Ain't it hard?
Man, but it's true
You can love someone don't love you
[Verse 11]
Well, the last words
I heard Ella say
Tell my sisters, "Don't do like me"
[Verse 12]
That is fall in love
With everyone
With everyone that you see
