41 Thunderer

歌詞

In fair silver city on the blind side of fate I grew up to manhood on the narrow and straight But prideful I stumbled, and foolish I fell In the silken fine trammels of a cruel yankee belle Slender and wicked, flame in her eyes Pearl white and nickel 'round the curve of her thighs Smooth as dry whiskey, but cold to caress She slid like a viper from her tooled leather dress ah forty-one thunderer, colt repeater She's a silver-tongued wonder and a mean mistreater Six-eyed delilah, brazen and bold Now it's stand and deliver, and fire in the hole Forty-one thunderer turn loose in my soul Well I feared not the lawman nor the thief in the night Nor angel nor devil when she went by my side And her hunger burned blazes till it felt like my own And her wanderin' heart drove me wild and alone ah forty-one thunderer, colt repeater She's a silver-tongued wonder and a mean mistreater Six-eyed delilah, brazen and bold Now it's stand and deliver, and fire in the hole Forty-one thunderer turn loose in my soul We rode out from canaan in search of our fortune Or somethin' worth dyin' for, beauty or evermore Over the blackwater flats with her jackrabbits running Under a sky burnin' brimstone and reckoning Sweet for the hope of rain And the sand in your teeth grindin' tiny white diamonds To moments of loss that you cannot explain So come demon lover when the long night is through And sing me your lullaby, simple and true For legends will tarnish and the trigger will rust And the road over glory come to ashes and dust ah forty-one thunderer, colt repeater She's a silver-tongued wonder and a mean mistreater Six-eyed delilah, brazen and bold Now it's stand and deliver, and fire in the hole Forty-one thunderer turn loose in my soul Forty-one thunderer turn loose in my soul
