To break your heart into rubble
|
Is what I'm here to do
|
I've got nothing but trouble, babe
|
In store for you
|
I've got one eye fixed on the main chance
|
One hand behind your back
|
And you just stumbled blind, babe
|
Right into my track
|
|
And that's when you fell so low
|
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know?
|
That's when you fell so low
|
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
|
|
There's vengeance in my belly
|
Slime on both my shoes
|
And everything bad that you ever heard
|
About little old me is true
|
My trigger finger is itchy
|
My humour is black
|
And you just stumbled blind, babe
|
Right into my track
|
|
And that's when you fell so low
|
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know?
|
That's when you fell so low
|
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
|
|
Now the devil drives a hard bargain
|
Preacher burns his hands
|
Fireman makes a sermon
|
Lord surveys his lands
|
Huck Finn just went out for sticks
|
He ain't coming back
|
And you just stumbled blind babe
|
Right into my track
|
|
And that's when you fell so low
|
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know?
|
That's when you fell so low
|
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
|
|
Faces start-a shining
|
Flags begin to sway
|
Would you believe I came a long distance
|
To be with you today
|
Your crooked partner
|
He just got the sack
|
And you just stumbled blind babe
|
Right into my track
|
|
And that's when you fell so low
|
Everybody takes a tumble, don't you know?
|
That's when you fell so low
|
Pick yourself off the floor before you go
|
