lyrics

25) Saloon Fight
roger holden

Saloon fight, they’re tearin’ down the walls
Kickin’ ‘n fightin’ ‘n bustin’ you in the balls
Saloon fight, bust a bottle on your head
You cheated at poker, boy, gonna fill you full of lead

Whiskey, women, poker, they’ll send you to an early grave

Saloon fight, the sheriff’s on the run
Kickin’ teeth ‘n breakin’ bone and you’re without a gun
Saloon fight, boot hill is where you’ll be
There’s gonna be a lynchin’, boy, they’ll hang ya from a tree

Whiskey, women, poker, they’ll send you to an early grave

Saloon fight, the piano man plays on
Knowin’ that the boys are only havin’ lots of fun
Saloon fight, they knock you to the floor
Bleedin’ from the mouth, boy, but you keep comin’ back for more

Whiskey, women, poker, they’ll send you to an early grave
