Snake-eyes And Boxcars Lyrics

Snake-eyes And Boxcars lyrics

Daddy was a dirty fighting man 



He walked tall with his money in his shoe 



With a left and a right 



And a sonny say goodnight 



Eyes were a cold steel blue 



 



Momma went down like a ton of coal 



Shared her bed with anyone who dared 



Wash your hands 



Take it like a man 



Never let em know your scared 



Never let em know your scared 



 



Oh, what shall we do with the drunken failure? 



Shanghai the bastard to Australia 



If we never see you again 



Buddy that'll be too soon 



Everybody knows that the odds ain't even 



Show me a god that's worth believing 



Better place your bets cause the boat is leaving 



Underneath an eastern moon 



Underneath an eastern moon 



 



Sissy had a thing for contraband 



Nose to the grindstone 



Finger in the pie 



No way out 



Give the kid a clout 



Drowned her in a pint of rye 



 



Brother was a drunken gambling man 



Rolled his dice and always played the fool 



Roll 'em high 



Sock 'em in the eye 



Beat him like a rented mule 



Beat him like a rented mule 



 



Oh, what shall we do with the drunken failure? 



Shanghai the bastard to Australia 



If we never see you again 



Buddy that'll be too soon 



Everybody knows that the odds ain't even 



Show me a god that's worth believing 



Better place your bets cause the boat is leaving 



Underneath an eastern moon 



Underneath an eastern moon 



 



(repeat 1)
