Thirteen Silver Dollars |
It was a cold and cruel evening |
Sneaking up on Speedy Creek |
Found myself asleep and in the snow |
One or two odd reasons |
I ain’t too proud to repeat |
For now we’ll say I had no place to go |
There was a rustle and a humming |
Just hauling down the street |
I drew myself up from my icy bed |
Painted on that shiny car the letters 'RCM and P' |
I can feel a little aching in my head |
And then out jumps this old boy |
About twice the size of me |
He asked me for my name and where I dwell |
I just looked him in the eye |
And sang 'Blue Yodel Number 9' |
He didn’t catch the reference, I could tell |
Then the old, familiar click |
In the handcuffs bind and grip |
Should have left me in the snow, where I laid |
He just laughed and touched his gun |
And turned to me and he said |
Son, I bet you don’t own a damn thing |
To your name |
Well, I got my health |
My John B Stetson |
Got a bottle full of baby’s bluebird wine |
And I left my stash |
Somewhere down in Preston |
Along with thirteen silver dollars and my mind |
Well, I got my health |
My John B Stetson |
Got me a bottle full of baby’s bluebird wine |
And I left my stash |
Somewhere down in Preston |
Along with thirteen silver dollars and my mind |
