|
Street fighting man |
|
He's a hard one yes indeed |
|
Just got in from |
|
Houston Who knows when he'll leave |
|
Made his reputation |
|
In small town southern bars |
|
Everyone respects him |
|
Treats him like a star |
|
Street fighter |
|
Street fighting man (You got to) |
|
Watch yourself today |
|
While you're on the run |
|
Cover the tracks |
|
That you lay down |
|
Your time is gonna come (Yes it is) |
|
He's got a lady waiting |
|
Back home in |
|
New Orleans |
|
A Louisana sweetheart |
|
They call the |
|
Southern Queen |
|
He promised her |
|
They'd settle down |
|
And make a home someday |
|
But he said, "Babe, You've got to wait awhile. I've got one last debt to pay." |
|
He met his man at |
|
Steeler's |
|
Inn Where they play |
|
Cards for pay |
|
In a flash |
|
Two shots were fired |
|
And one man rode away |
|
The crowd began |
|
To circle him |
|
As he lay there dying |
|
And in the night |
|
He thought he heard |
|
His sweetheart lady crying |
