Ella Killed Her Husband

Ella and Louis Jordan made even a violent tune, “Stone Cold Dead in de Market,” sounded entertaining with their playful Jamaican accent.

Last night I went out drinking,
When I came home I gave her a beating.
So she cotched up de rolling pin,
And went to work on his head ’til I boshed it in.
I lied stone cold dead in de market,
Stone cold dead in de market.
I lied stone cold dead in de market,
She killed nobody but her husband.
