Well now DBilly Voltaire was a piano player Gup from Miami Dway
He used to play in the bars, he could sound like the stars
The E7ladies would pay and A7pay
But Gone night he did wind up Dplayin' in HaCvana Gtown
Nobody knew, least DBilly Voltaire that Athese were his final Dsounds
He met up with Merrita, a dancer in from the coast
Half woman, half child she drove him half wild
He loved that lady the most
But one night he did find her in the arms of shrimper Dan
So he pulled a knife, took poor Danny's life
Then he turned his own cold hand
DIt's just a GCuban crime of passion
DMessy and old-fashioned
AYeah, that's what the papers did Dsay
It's just a GCuban crime of passion
DAnjejo and knives a-slashin'
ABut that's what the people like to read aboutA B C
Up in America,A B C up in ADmerica
(Repeat Intro chords)
Well now, they never found Merrita
Some people say she got ill
Billy Voltaire had no one to claim him
He was buried on Pauper's Hill
And no one talks about him no more, it happened just a week ago
But people get by and people get high,
In the tropics they come and they go
Repeat chorus
(Repeat Intro chords and fade)
