He was just a little boy
Born to a seamstress and a barber,
Who knew what he would become
And what cruelty he could harbor.

Oh, Scarface, oh Capone, Public Enemy Number 1,
A legend in his time and a master with a gun.
No one had any idea the havoc he could wreak,
Or that his bootleg empire would control all that was weak.
But who knew that in due time, he’d fall not by another man,
But because of a youthful mistake; death by his own hand.

With a mentor like Torrio,
He learned the ways of the streets well.
Prohibition was his time,
And this Italian knew what to sell.

Torrio got a bit spooked,
And the business went to Scarface.
Al Capone was his name,
Chicago, Illinois was the place.

Oh, Scarface, oh Capone, Public Enemy Number 1,
A legend in his time and a master with a gun.
No one had any idea the havoc he could wreak,
Or that his bootleg empire would control all that was weak.
But who knew that in due time, he’d fall not by another man,
But because of a youthful mistake; death by his own hand.

Through gambling and prostitution,
This notorious man made his cash,
But by selling moonshine,
Was the real way he built up his stash.

It was at about this time
That “Bugs” Moran comes into the story.
The frightened Al Capone
Started the massacre that is his glory.

Oh, Scarface, oh Capone, Public Enemy Number 1,
A legend in his time and a master with a gun.
No one had any idea the havoc he could wreak,
Or that his bootleg empire would control all that was weak.
But who knew that in due time, he’d fall not by another man,
But because of a youthful mistake; death by his own hand.

He couldn’t stay on top for long,
For the police were hard on his trail.
Tax evasion was his crime,
Spending six of his years in jail.

Soon after he was released
And his name was dragged through the mud,
The man that had defied dead,
Was killed by nothing but his own “bad blood.”

Oh, Scarface, oh Capone, Public Enemy Number 1,
A legend in his time and a master with a gun.
No one had any idea the havoc he could wreak,
Or that his bootleg empire would control all that was weak.
But who knew that in due time, he’d fall not by another man,
But because of a youthful mistake; death by his own hand.

Nice job, and the next PoTW should be out tomorrow.
