Ott Lee

 Ott Lee Blues

There’s a man down in Scott County

Mississippi 

Goes by the name of Ott Lee

Now the folks of Scott County

Don’t take too kindly to Ott Lee

For you see

Down in Scott County Mississippi 

They have this office of Coroner 

A mighty powerful position for sure

Now you say, what’s so powerful

About an elected Coroner?

Don’t he just come and pronounce 

People dead?

Well, not exactly

For you see Ott Lee

He has the power to pronounce 

The living dead

Walk right in with the certificate 

Declaring them dead

No longer part of the family

No plea for mercy

No payment under the table

Pea Ridge Cemetery dead

So you see 

Folks don’t like to see Ott Lee

Coming around family in

Scott County Mississippi 

It’s little wonder lately

So many from Scott County

Mississippi are relocating 

To places as far away as

Orange Beach Alabammy.
