San Francisco Fan (12-11-47) |
San Francisco Fan |
Loved a no-good gamblin' man; |
She drank the coffee dregs so she could fry his eggs |
In a golden fryin' pan |
Can-canned by command |
Of the Gold Rush Cafe clan |
She gave her man her pay; |
he gambled it away |
Playing Chinatown fan-tan |
Once they caught him cheatin' |
And he knew that he was beaten |
When a miner aimed a pistol at his head |
Fanny, when she seen 'em |
Ran and jumped right inbetween 'em |
And she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead |
There was Fanny dyin' |
While a hundred men were cryin' |
And the angels up above were cryin', too; |
When seven horses started draggin' |
Fanny’s coffin in a wagon |
Down a dusty California avenue |
San Francisco Fan |
Gave her life to save her man |
A man who wasn’t worth a shovelful of earth |
From the grave of San Francisco Fan |
San Francisco Fan |
Gave her life to save a man |
A man who wasn’t worth a shovelful of earth |
From the grave of San Francisco Fan |
