.38 Special

The .38 Smith & Wesson Special (commonly .38 Special, .38 Spl, or .38 Spc, pronounced "thirty-eight special") is a rimmed, centerfire cartridge designed by Smith & Wesson. It is most commonly used in revolvers, although some semi-automatic pistols and carbines also use this round. The .38 Special was the standard service cartridge of most police departments in the United States from the 1920s to the early 1990s, and was also a common sidearm cartridge used by soldiers in World War I. In other parts of the world, it is known by its metric designation of 9×29.5mmR or 9.1x29mmR. more »

I was raised up on the west side of town. 
That's where I met Jimmy Gillum, 
Baddest man around. 
He'd rather fight than eat, 
Mister That's no lie. 
If you cross him up smile and wave goodbye, 
Bad bad Jimmy baddest man alive. 
He was dynamite in a small pack, 
His fuse was short, 
He didn't cut no slack. 
Oh that Jimmy Gillum was a bad cat. 

[Chorus:]
 
Talk about trouble 
You talk about mean 
Jimmy was the baddest cat I've ever seen 
You talk about trouble 
Should have been his name 
Jimmy never pulled a punch 
He was a fighting machine 
Yeah he was he was a fighting machine 
Now I recall one night at the Sugar Bowl 
That's a honky tonk where Jimmy goes 
Yeah the One Percent were burning up the stage 
In walk Jimmy in a drunken daze 
Ready to fight son in the worst way 
So I ran for cover behind the stage 
Bottles started flying I began to pray 
Please oh Lord don't let him look my way 
 
It's been years since I saw Jimmy last 
When I pulled into a jiffy the other day 
Just to get some gas 
I heard this guy screaming next to me 
Turn on this pump you dirty s.o.b. 
To my surprise it was Jimmy alive and well 
Jumped in my car and took off fast 
Knew in a minute he'd be kicking ass 
Oh that Jimmy Gillum was a bad cat 
 
Yea he was talk about trouble, talk about trouble 
Yea talk about trouble 
Yea that boy was bad to the bone talk about trouble 
Play it boys sound good 
Us Gillums never die we just fade away 
Um trouble boy
