The Rebel |
| They treat me like a savage |
| On me they took advantage |
| When I was young and growing up in town |
| All o' them badjohns used to slap me down |
| Kicked me and all them stuff |
| Give me some big, big cuff |
| I really grew up rough and tough |
| Now I’m a rebel |
| I seeking meh revenge in any kind o' way |
| I’m a devil |
| I don’t laugh, I don’t smile, I don’t play |
| Anytime we meet, man-to-man |
| It’s blood and sand! |
| They really think I forget |
| How I get so much clouted |
| They used to bluff me when I leaving school |
| Take off meh cap and tap me like a fool |
| While they were in their glee |
| I was in misery |
| Like any Good Friday bobolee |
| Now I’m a rebel |
| I seeking meh revenge in any kind o' way |
| I’m a devil |
| I don’t laugh, I don’t smile, I don’t play |
| Anytime we meet, man-to-man |
| It’s blood and sand! |
| All I could do was cry, cry |
| And go home with a black eye |
| When I was twelve I was a laughing stock |
| Known as a pappy-show from block to block |
| Always, always in a fix |
| Whenever they do their tricks |
| I’m always getting innocent licks |
| Now I’m a rebel |
| I seeking my revenge in any kind o' way |
| I’m a devil |
| I don’t laugh, I don’t smile, I don’t play |
| Anytime we meet, man-to-man |
| It’s blood and sand! |
| Once my schoolmaster told me |
| He wish police could hold me |
| When I was expelled I was left to roam |
| Put out from school, also put out from home |
| That’s why I want to meet |
| Them badjohns on the street |
| To show them how revenge is sweet |
| I am a rebel |
| I seeking my revenge in any kind o' way |
| I’m a devil |
| I don’t laugh, I don’t smile, I don’t play |
| Anytime we meet, man-to-man |
| It’s blood and sand! |
