(Ray Sawyer/Dennis Locorriere/Ron Haffkine) |
|
He stands tall in his handmade boots |
|
Pretty little girls all around |
|
Black was the shade of his nudie suit |
|
And when he sang there was not a sound |
|
From state line to Mobile he entertained the crowds |
|
Everybody there knew his name |
|
His climb had started but the road gets harder |
|
When you're closing in on fame |
|
Bright lights shine and the crowd goes wild |
|
"The show won't start 'til y'all calm down" |
|
One pretty little girl stands all alone |
|
And when she cried there was not a sound |
|
For just three days in New Orleans she never left his side |
|
That girl became a woman with her very first man |
|
But to her only lover she was just like all the others |
|
'Til she stood there with that gun in her hand |
|
A shot rang out and the crowd goes wild |
|
A shot rang out and the crowd goes wild |
|
The crowd goes wild |
|
The crowd goes wild |
|
The crowd goes wild |
|
The crowd goes wild |
