lirik lagu casper allen – rice and beans
[spoken intro]
alright this song is about, eh… new orleans and houston, kinda both in baton rouge, kind of just a gulf coast sh~tshow. uh… yeah, it’s called rice and beans
[verse 1]
well a traveller entered new orleans
with a rose on his lapel
he bid his time, soaked in water, that bar water smell
he came and went, by a train and ten
collectin’ cards and placin’ bets
’til his debt was far too heavy to pay
well mad as a bulldog and sharp as a nail
he drank the mississippi river from a plastic pale
when he got the bottom and the river was dry
he took his [?] to the p~wn shop and ordered some wine
[bridge 1]
he said “doo~doo~doo doo doo
doo~doo~doo doo doo
doo~doo~doo dooo do~doo~doo
do~do~do~do doo”
[verse 2]
from across that big old river
came a lady dressed in black
by chance he saw her dancin’ in a houston highway [?]
the traveller entered case in hand
to run his con and leave again
’til he saw her dancin’ on the floor
well sl!ck as a razor and quick as a gun
he approached her where they were not one
he sang to her a simple verse
she laid on him a lover’s curse
[chorus]
she said “rice and beans
rice and beans
that’s all that poor boy ever eats
he got a nickel in his pocket
and a [?] in his smile
she got a [?]
poor boy can’t you tell
[verse 3]
well the gamblin’ man from out of town
cashed in his chips and came around
took a seat at the table with a bottle of brown
took a generous sip and he laid his stake down
well cool as a breeze
firm as a rock
didn’t take no mind to let them other men talk
[?] began and the gamblin’ man
took the whole table down with a shoddy hand
[chorus]
he said “rice and beans
rice and beans
that’s all that poor boy ever eats
he got a dollar in his pocket
and a [?] in his smile
she got a [?]
poor boy can’t you tell
[bridge 2]
well the traveller went home to his dancing queen
took a seat on the bed
shook out his jeans
could have cut that tension with a knife
when that nickel hit the hardwood
she disappeared into the night
