Firewater - Snake-eyes and Boxcars Lyrics
Daddy was a dirty fighting manHe walked tall with his money in his shoeWith a left and a rightAnd a sonny say goodnightEyes were a cold steel blueMomma went down like a ton of coalShared her bed with anyone who daredWash your handsTake it like a manNever let em know your scaredNever let em know your scaredOh, what shall we do with the drunken failure?Shanghai the bastard to AustraliaIf we never see you againBuddy that'll be too soonEverybody knows that the odds ain't evenShow me a god that's worth believingBetter place your bets cause the boat is leavingUnderneath an eastern moonUnderneath an eastern moonSissy had a thing for contrabandNose to the grindstoneFinger in the pieNo way outGive the kid a cloutDrowned her in a pint of ryeBrother was a drunken gambling manRolled his dice and always played the foolRoll 'em highSock 'em in the eyeBeat him like a rented muleBeat him like a rented muleOh, what shall we do with the drunken failure?Shanghai the bastard to AustraliaIf we never see you againBuddy that'll be too soonEverybody knows that the odds ain't evenShow me a god that's worth believingBetter place your bets cause the boat is leavingUnderneath an eastern moonUnderneath an eastern moon(repeat 1)
