Reachin' Pete - Take A |
| When you go to Helena stop on Cherry Street |
| When you go to Helena stop on Cherry Street |
| And just ask anybody to show you Reachin' Pete |
| He’s the tallest man, walks on Cherry Street |
| He’s the tallest man, walks on Cherry Street |
| And he, the baddest copper ever walked that beat |
| Met me one Sunday morning, just about the break of day |
| Lord, he met me one Sunday morning, just about the break of day |
| I was drinking my moonshine, he made me throw my knife away |
| Well, he taken my partner, carried her to the jail |
| Well, he taken my partner, carried her to the jail |
| After he locked her up, he turned and went her bail |
| Reachin' Pete’s all right, but his buddy almost ill |
| Reachin' Pete’s all right, but his buddy almost ill |
| Every time he meet you, he ready for a plenty hell |
