[Intro]
D A D G
D G A D
[Verse]
D A D G
He was barely a man in his grandfather's coat
D G A D
Sewn into the lining, a ten-shilling note
D A D G
Goodbye to the family, fair well to the shore
D G A D
‘Til I taste good fortune, you'll see me no more
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse]
D A D G
The boat on the ocean, tossed like a cork
D G A D
Then one fine morning they sighted New York
D A D G
And he stood on the gangplank and breathed in the air
D G A D
"Hello land of plenty, I've come for my share"
[Chorus]
D A D G
And he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall
D G A D
Of their ankles and dresses, down on the dance floor
D A D G
And rolling the dice, and spinning the wheels
D G A D
But he took most de light in the slip jigs and reels
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse]
D A D G
There's talk a pistol, and some say a knife
D G A D
But all they agree it was somebody's wife
D A D G
Some kind of commotion, a terrible fight
D G A D
He left a man dead and ran into the night
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse]
D A D G
A train to St. Louis, just one jump a head
D G A D
He slept one eye open, a six-gun in bed
D A D G
And he dreamt of the mountains and green fields of home
D G A D
While crossing the plains where the buffalo roam
[Chorus]
D A D G
And he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall
D G A D
Of their ankles and dresses, down on the dance floor
D A D G
And rolling the dice, and spinning the wheels
D G A D
But he took most de light in the slip jigs and reels
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse]
D A D G
Oh, bad reputation's, a hard thing to bear
D G A D
Mothers pour scorn and young children they stare
D A D G
But he found consolation in flash company
D G A D
Your life ain't so bad with a girl on your knee
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse]
D A D G
Oh, they called him the Kid, and by twenty-one
D G A D
All that he knew was the power of the gun
D A D G
And by twenty-three, he'd shot five men down
D G A D
Who got in his way as he rambled around
[Chorus]
D A D G
And he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall
D G A D
Of their ankles and dresses, down on the dance floor
D A D G
And rolling the dice, and spinning the wheels
D G A D
But he took most de light in the slip jigs and reels
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse]
D A D G
There's bones in the desert and buzzards that fly
D G A D
In the highest of circles, just wishing he'd die
D A D G
But in matters of cruelty, it must be said
D G A D
A landlord will pick your bones before you're dead
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse]
D A D G
It was wild mescaleros, I heard people say
D G A D
In the deadliest ambush near old Santa Fe
D A D G
And a young buck was taken, dressed in a coat
D G A D
And inside the lining, a ten-shilling note
[Chorus]
D A D G
And he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall
D G A D
Of their ankles and dresses, down on the dance floor
D A D G
And rolling the dice, and spinning the wheels
D G A D
But he took most de light in the slip jigs and reels
[Outro]
D G A D
Yes he took most de light in the slip jigs and reels
