Lyrics

Hunter-Nelson
Paid my money to a crooked judge
Set out to find an honest man
That's how I came to be in Boston
Looking like I am.
If by now we stop to sleep
We can't make no midnight creep
Only time can ever say
Pack my cat and haul away.
Rained all night and it rained all day
Rain come floated my house away
Didn't it rain, didn't it rain ?
Didn't it rain that day ?
If by now we step by, then
Someday we may meet again
Run down high, look down low
Call the Captain up from the hole.
I was down in some low dive
Talkin' all the usual jive
Like : ‘Say Buddy, gimme five’
’I ain't drunk enough to drive’.
Wipe that grin right off your face
Before I throw you through the wall
No one needs a wise guy, Jack
Specially one don't check his facts.
If by now we step by, then
Someday we may meet again
Who cares what you have to say ?
Even this too shall pass away.
Pass away, pass away
Even this too shall pass away
Hey, crooked judge, even this too shall pass away
Even this too shall pass away.

Paid my money to a crooked judge
Set out to find an honest man
That' s how I came to be in Boston
Looking like I am.
If by now we stop to sleep
We can' t make no midnight creep
Only time can ever say
Pack my cat and haul away.
Rained all night and it rained all day
Rain come floated my house away
Didn' t it rain, didn' t it rain nbsp?
Didn' t it rain that day nbsp?
If by now we step by, then
Someday we may meet again
Run down high, look down low
Call the Captain up from the hole.
I was down in some low dive
Talkin' all the usual jive
Like nbsp: ' Say Buddy, gimme five'
' I ain' t drunk enough to drive'.
Wipe that grin right off your face
Before I throw you through the wall
No one needs a wise guy, Jack
Specially one don' t check his facts.
If by now we step by, then
Someday we may meet again
Who cares what you have to say nbsp?
Even this too shall pass away.
Pass away, pass away
Even this too shall pass away
Hey, crooked judge, even this too shall pass away
Even this too shall pass away.
