She sat there in a state
Of complete shock
They said of her,
But really
She had been expecting
The news that came
It is just that she
Had not realized it
Would hurt her
She had been hired
To seduce him
Her husband was
At Alcatraz
Where all the big boys
Go when they get caught
Robbing banks
It was the Great depression
And even with her own
Cousin in the White House
There was nothing they could do
How was she to know
He would get involved
She was a nice enough girl
From the reservation
Her family were French Canadian
And Indian but had some money
It is just that they could not get it
What the new era
Did not tell people
Is that there was no money
All that bank robbing
Was causing trouble
Not because they were stealing
Peoples money
But that there was nothing
To steal
She knew that from her families
When they used to get together
The Delano's
Were new Amsterdam
Belgium and Netherlands
De La Noyes
Anyways they had their
Own account in Manhatten
But it was empty
Because the governent
Had not enough to cover
Those accounts
Federal Insurance
Was a fraud
But Franklin was not
He had been kind to her
When she was a kid
What could she do?
Unless one of those
White guys wanted her
She marreid locally
And it was a mistake
Walter seemed intelligent
But he was not
Now he was locked up
And so was she
They had released her
The first time
And sent her home by bus
Really she had been spoken
But all those girls
Were in on it
No where to go
And she had no where to run
So when word came
She went to him
As was planned
There was this really big
Robbery planned
Instead of a bank
The train itself
With over amillion dollars
They were all going to be in on it
Frank Netti was screaming
At everyone involved
He had that new guy
To take care of
Those new laws
Could not apply to his grouup
Or big Al Capone
Would also go to jail
So she had been hired
It was easy
He caught her eye
And liked her for being hereslf
Working for this new group
The Federal Buruea of Investigations.
Her cousin got her hooked
And now she was in it
She did not know
She would like him
Nor that he would be real
Real! For Gods sake!
Anyways there was nothing
She could do once
She walked with him
The rest had her pegged
And now they arrested her
For being with him
A second time
After he escaped
He only did it for her
He was cautious
That one and was not going
To be no jail bird
But times were changing
He had to suck up
And go with the others
Or cut loose
And leave altogether
They talked about
Cuba and Rio
But he seemed sad
About leaving
No way to stop him
She told him not to come
He hung up the phone
And she knew
He was dead inside
What would he do?
Go to a damn brothel
And make friendly with the ladies
They had killed all of his friends
The thing is after his death
His strict father survived
After all as if there was a source
Everyone of his
Got some of the share
She was sure of it
She even traveled with them
Just to see what was what
They finally cut her loose
Sent her home to Wisconsin
Where she found a third husband
But that day
When they told her
The Dillinger
Was dead
Shot outside
A movie theater
It was as if a knife
Went through her.
And then he came
And told her the rest of it.
John had made a deal
Without anyone knowing
He knew it was over
The bank robbing
But he could not leave
Without her left inside
So, he just walked in
To the situation room
Where it said on the door
Dillinger on the door
They had put his name
On a door for the Feds
Who were working out
Of a police stationi
So no one would get lost
He was not lost either
While the crew
Were watching the game
Instead of just listening
To it on the Radio
And doing thier work
He walked in and had a look around
He got one of the guys name
Off of the board
Made a call on that one
There it was him all dressed
Out as if he was in disguise
Strawberry jelly
No it was that new tomatoe stuff
For hotdogs
Inside his shirt
All he had to do was make
Sure the right guy
Was behind him
And go down
On the ground.
Now he was gone
And in the clear.
He wanted her out
They told her they
Could not let her go
Until her two years were up
But then she was free and clear
They had done it for the Bureau
Things were not going well
They could not find the elusive
Bank robbers
And if hey took down a train
Then it would be over
This new guy Edgar
Was not to be messed with
He spent the rest of his career
Stating there was no organized crime
Got the bigger fish
Capone at alcatraz!
On tax evasion.
Nice little job
Done all sweet
All she had to do was sit
It out
And thank her cousin
Whom she would have done
Anything for anyways
But it had hurt her
To know her would
Go down for her
In that way.
Just give it all up
And disappear
For the rest of his life
While she who had made
Miss Indian America
Oh yeah
She was a beauty queen
Was going to do nothing
But sit at home
With some old guy
At least in Chicago
She had been checking
Hats and coats
For the FBI
As their inside guy.
A beautiful life
Awaited him somewhere else
He waited till he had aged
Just enough
To go see what a reservation
Looked like
He fit right on it
Because he had been living
With hem
The Indians out on the various places
God forsaken places
But he wanted her
Real bad
So now he was an Indian
An older Indian
Courting a younger woman
Who had been wronged
Art they called him, now.
Poor Purvis it was his score
But she had to be freed
They had not realized
They had a Delano
Under arrest
They made the arrangements
Without him knowing
Then told him and he quit
They did not need him anyways
Practising law
Would give him a family
And a life better than hers.
Poor kid was just working
For them and got caught
By the wrong guy
That Fred Netti
Scared a lot of people
He was relaxing
One day in Florida
After having made sure
They got that bird
In jail.
Al Capone even showed
Up in his neighborhood
Florida !
He was after some radio girl
She had been instramental
In the early days
Knew the Eisenhowers
Had been sent home
When it got dangerous
Had a husband behind the lines
Those days of the war
Now she was retired as well
Wonder if she ever figured
Out the messages
They handed her
To read on the radio
Her husband was furious
When he got home
His wife had been used
As a mouse!
What if the cat had caught her!
No way, they never told her.
Fuming the rest of his life
That one.
Now all he has to do
Is figure out what
His cat is up too
Sits for hours
Starring at a spot
Where there is no mouse
Always something new wth creatures
The cat stopped starring
When the man came out
And finished off the job
They had never intended
To have all those guys killed
Nor for FBI
To become an actual
Government police force
It was ruled a suicide
Only the cat knows
Since everyone got too busy
Watching the Televison
And not listening
To the sounds outside,
While inside ...
