Savoy Brown - Jack the Toad lyrics
Jackie Lynton-Chrysalis Music Ltd. Jerimiah said his peace and fell back in the road He was shot by Coulee Reese Who they nick-named Jack The Toad Just across his shoulder just a little to the right He heard the click of a 45 hammer So he throws himself down and he hits the ground Rolls right over and spins 'round And with one good shot, just one good shot He brings that villain right down In true "Hour Western" manner Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool A legend grew and Jack The Toad knew To back up all the talk One day soon, preferably noon He's going to have to take the long walk A poker game and a fast stake Of these Jack was the master But a man called Pete At the end of a dusty dusty street He's just about six feet Now he just might, you know he just might He might be a lttle faster Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed It's Jack The Toad I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed It's Jack The Toad Well it had to happen on a summers' day When Jack was feeling good But a friend of a friend, promised a friend of a friend Promised a friend of a friend he would But many brave men have said the same thing Again and again and again Now Jack, when he went out to face Pete For the final showdown He was just a little bit high He'd been drinking and smoking And he thought he was so fast He made the last move And that was the last move he made Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool Well now he's gone but his memory lives on In the mind of every comic strip reader Some say weren't Jack, some say was camphor Some say he was just a bleeder One fact, one fact remain, always be the same Now on your way through life Sometimes you just got to be a little bad I knew Jack and, my goodness, he was bad He was bad, bad news You just got to be a little bad because, if you ain't The great gun fighter in the sky Ain't got no one to save And if you're just a little bad Just a little bad Nobody forgets your name Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news Bad, oh my goodness, Jack was bad news |
