lirik lagu socks in the frying pan - the slipjigs & reels
[verse 1]
he was barely a man, in his grandfather’s coat
sewn in the lining a ten shilling note
goodbye to the family, goodbye to the shore
a man tastes fortune, you’ll see him no more
a boat on the ocean, it’s tossed like a cork
and then one fine morning they sighted new york
so he stood on the gangplank to breathe in the air
h~llo land of plenty i have come for my share
[chorus]
yes, he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall
of their ankles and their dresses down in the dance floor
rolling the dice, and spinning the wheel
but he took most delight in the slip jigs and reels
[verse 2]
now some say a pistol and some say a knife
but all were agreed there was somebody’s wife
some kind of commotion, a terrible fight
he left one man dead and ran into the night
on a train to st. louis, just one jump ahead
he slept one eye open, and a six~gun in bed
and he dreamt of mountains and green fields of home
while crossing the plains where the buffalo roam
[chorus]
he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall
of their ankles and their dresses down in the dance floor
rolling the dice, and spinning the wheel
but he took most delight in the slip jigs and reels
[verse 3]
they called him the kid and by twenty~one
sure, all that he knew was the power of the gun
and by twenty~three he’d shot five men down
that got in his way as he rambled around
a bad reputation’s a hard thing to bear
for mothers pour scorn and young children they stare
so he took consolation in fresh company
sure, life isn’t so bad with a girl on each knee
[chorus]
yes, he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall
of their ankles and their dresses down in the dance floor
rolling the dice, and spinning the wheel
but he took most delight in the slip jigs and reels
[instrumental break]
[verse 4]
it was wild mescaleros i have heard people say
in the deadliest ambush near old santa fe
a young buck was taken, he was dressed in a coat
and sewn into the lining a ten shilling note
[chorus]
he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall
of their ankles and their dresses down in the dance floor
rolling the dice, and spinning the wheel
but he took most delight in the slip jigs and reels
yes, he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall
of their ankles and their dresses down in the dance floor
rolling the dice, and spinning the wheel
but he took most delight in the slip jigs and reels
