Billy and the Snakecharmer

歌詞

Billy and the snakecharmer Wanted to be free Only problem was They couldn't get a company Snakecharmer said to Billy We ought to buy a gun Start shooting bullets Not necessarily in fun It didn't matter then It doesn't matter now If you go out screaming I'll be there somehow Two European hippie girls On the road in Thailand They just didn't get the rules They didn't understand The south of England is a long, long way In Oriental land Your mama won't get you out of jail You're gonna do a long time But it didn't matter then It doesn't matter now If you go out screaming I'll be there somehow Billy said to the snakecharmer I wanna get back to France I know a gentle millionaires there Who never refuses to dance Then she feeds me and gives me water Don't ask for nothing back What's your opinion now, snakecharmer? What do you think of that? It didn't matter then It doesn't matter now If you go out screaming I'll be there somehow All the way to Lavette By hunchback to the frontier So many haunted faces And those who had failed I could've been in clover Or as least could've found my keep But somebody stole my silver They didn't know that it was free But it didn't matter then It doesn't matter now If you go out screaming I'll be there somehow Ah, it doesn't matter The hoodoo came and went It cast its own spell It didn't matter then Ah, it doesn't matter now
