Street fighting man
|
He's a hard one yes indeed
|
Just got in from Houston
|
Who knows when he'll leave
|
Made his reputation
|
In small town southern bars
|
Everyone respects him
|
Treats him like a star
|
|

Street fighting man
|
(You got to)
|
Watch yourself today
|
While you're on the run
|
Cover the tracks
|
That you lay down
|
Your time is gonna come
|
(Yes it is)
|
|
He's got a lady waiting
|
Back home in New Orleans
|
A Louisana sweetheart
|
They call the Southern Queen
|
He promised her
|
They'd settle down
|
And make a home someday
|
But he said, "Babe,
|
You've got to wait awhile.
|
I've got one last debt to pay."
|
|
He met his man at Steeler's Inn
|
Where they play
|
Cards for pay
|
In a flash
|
Two shots were fired
|
And one man rode away
|
|
The crowd began
|
To circle him
|
As he lay there dying
|
And in the night
|
He thought he heard
|
His sweetheart lady crying
|
