I saw Big Bear Henry
|
Two Turtle Jim
|
Rolling into town, they was ridin' on the rims
|
Sold their tires to buy themselves
|
A couple of cases of beer
|
They got there a little too late
|
So they broke down the door
|
And they shot up the place
|
Now everybody's gone crazy around here
|
And it's restless nights and endless fights
|
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights
|
Fiddles and accordions
|
Tear stained steel guitars
|
It's a tar-paper shack
|
Whiskey and smack
|
Two guns left on a five rifle rack
|
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed
|
And that's for sure
|
Set up a barricade on the line
|
The cops came down and bullets were flying
|
Held 'em up and then we held 'em off
|
'Till just afore dawn
|
They got Bear and then they got Jim
|
And then we got a couple of them
|
And if we make the trade
|
They say they'll call it off
|
And it's restless nights and endless fights
|
A hundred miles and hour and no headlights
|
Fiddles and accordions
|
Tear stained steel guitars
|
It's a tar-paper shack
|
Whiskey and smack
|
Two guns left on a five rifle rack
|
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed
|
And that's for sure
|
Up in the churchyard the choir is a'singing
|
I can hear mandolins ringing
|
Dogs are a'barking, ambulances wailin'
|
Out on the edge of town
|
The radio says the whole thing is over
|
But there ain't much that they don't know
|
'Cause tomorrow morning the whole thing's
|
Gonna go down
|
And it's restless nights and endless fights
|
A hundred miles and hour and no headlights
|
Fiddles and accordions
|
Tear stained steel guitars
|
It's a tar-paper shack
|
Two guns left on a five rifle rack
|
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed
|
And that's for sure
|
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed
|
And that's for sure
|
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed
|
And that's for sure
|
