It was Tiger Wilson versus Kid McCoy
|
In the summer of 몁inety-three
|
Now the Kid was everybody's pride and joy
|
Just as game as a kid could be
|
|
And his darlin' Bess was in the second row
|
She was prayin' with all her might
|
Sayin, "Kid, we need that little bungalow
|
Oh, you've just gotta win tonight"
|
|
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
|
Let's hit him with a left and a right
|
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
|
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
|
(But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)
|
|
Now the Kid had fever to the very bone
|
But nobody would ever guess
|
He was in there fightin' on his heart alone
|
Cause he just had to win for Bess
|
|
Oh, the Kid was battered, the Kid was floored
|
But the count never got to ten
|
Though his brain was reelin' when the people roared
|
He was up on his feet again
|
|
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
|
Let's hit him with a left and a right
|
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
|
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
|
(But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)
|
|
Said the Tiger, scowlin', don't you know you're through
|
I can whip you just like a child
|
I'm gonna take the fight and take your woman too
|
When he heard that the Kid went wild
|
|
Said the Kid, "For that I'll tear you limb from limb"
|
And he sprang like an angry colt
|
He said a punch a-flyin at the Tiger's chin
|
Knocked him out like a thunderbolt
|
|
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
|
Let's hit him with a left and a right
|
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
|
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
|
(But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)
|
|
To the crowd that saw it there was little doubt
|
That the Kid was a champ that night
|
But the champ would never have another bout
|
멦was the fever that won the fight
|
|
Gather round, I'm bettin' even money folks
|
There's a bell soundin' way up high
|
And the champ is climbin' through the golden ropes
|
Of the Big Ring up in the sky
|
|
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid
|
Let's hit him with a left and a right
|
Go on, Kid, go on, Kid
|
But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight
|
