IAN & SYLVIA
"Ella Speed"
(Traditional)

Now come all ye and take heed
Concernin' the death of Ella Speed

[Repeat]

Now Ella Speed was havin' her lovin' fun
Let me tell you what ol' Bill Martin done

Bill Martin he was tall and slender
Better known by bein' a bartender

Now the deed ol' Bill Martin done
He shot Ella with a Colt forty-one

When them women heard Ella Speed was dead
Well they went on home and they re-ragged in red

Now come all ye and take heed
Concerning' the death of Ella Speed
