Depp, 59, and the 78-year-old former Yardbirds axman released an album dubbed “18” last month, weeks after the actor won his bombshell defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.One of the record’s tracks features Depp uttering lines that were spoken by a convicted murderer and robber named Slim Wilson in 1964, according to Rolling Stone.Slim Wilson — whose real name was Willie Davis — was a train-hopping pimp and gambling cheat that recited a series of lewd poems.The poems, called “toasts,” were recorded by folklorist Bruce Jackson while Wilson served time in Missouri State Penitentiary, the outlet reported.Bruce Jackson recorded Wilson reciting a toast called “Hobo Ben” and included a transcription of the piece in his 1974 book “Get Your Ass in The Water and Swim Like Me.”Lines from “Hobo Ben” reappeared almost verbatim on Depp and Beck’s new experimental spoken-word song “Sad Mother—–n’ Parade,” on which the duo received the only songwriting credits.“The only two lines I could find in the whole piece that [Depp and Beck] contributed are ‘Big time motherf—-r’ and ‘Bust it down to my level,’” Jackson told Rolling Stone.
