Song For Sonny Liston - Mark Knopfler[00:00:00]

Written by：Mark Knopfler[00:00:01]

So many mouths to feed on the farm[00:00:11]

Sonny was the second to the last one born[00:00:17]

His mamma ran away and his daddy beat him bad[00:00:22]

And he grew up wild good love he never had[00:00:27]

He had a left like Henry's hammer[00:00:30]

A right like Betty Bamalam[00:00:33]

Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread[00:00:36]

And all them sluggers went down like lead[00:00:38]

Well he hung with the hoods he wouldn't stroke the fans[00:00:52]

But he had dynamite in both his hands[00:00:57]

Boom bam like the slammer door[00:01:03]

The bell and the can and the bodies on the floor[00:01:08]

Beware[00:01:11]

The bear's in town[00:01:13]

Somebody's money says[00:01:14]

The bear's going down[00:01:15]

Yeah[00:01:17]

The bear never smiles[00:01:18]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:01:19]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:01:22]

Yeah[00:01:30]

The writers didn't like him the fight game jocks[00:01:35]

With his lowlife backers and his hands like rocks[00:01:41]

They didn't want to have a bogey man[00:01:47]

They didn't like him and he didn't like them[00:01:52]

Black Cadillac[00:01:55]

Alligator boots[00:01:56]

Money in the pockets of his sharkskin suits[00:01:57]

Some say[00:02:00]

The bear took a flop[00:02:01]

They couldn't believe it when they saw him drop[00:02:03]

He had a left like Henry's hammer[00:02:05]

A right like Betty Bamalam[00:02:08]

Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread[00:02:11]

And all them sluggers went down like lead[00:02:14]

Joe louis was his hero he tried to be the same[00:02:27]

But a criminal child wears a ball and chain[00:02:32]

So the civil rights people didn't want him on the throne[00:02:38]

And the hacks and the cops wouldn't leave him alone[00:02:43]

Beware[00:02:46]

The Bear's in town[00:02:47]

Somebody's money says[00:02:49]

The Bear's going down[00:02:50]

Yeah[00:02:51]

The Bear never smiles[00:02:53]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:02:54]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:02:57]

Oh yeah[00:03:05]

At the foot of his bed with his feet on the floor[00:03:10]

There was d**e in his veins and a pistol on the drawer[00:03:16]

There was no investigation as such[00:03:21]

He hated needles but he knew too much[00:03:27]

Criss[00:03:30]

Crossed[00:03:30]

On his back[00:03:31]

Scars from his daddy like slavery tracks[00:03:32]

The second last child was the second last king[00:03:35]

Never again was it the same in the ring[00:03:37]

He had a left like Henry's hammer[00:03:40]

A right like Betty Bamalam[00:03:43]

Rode with the muggers[00:03:45]

In the dark and dread[00:03:47]

And all them sluggers went down like lead[00:03:48]

Yeah[00:03:56]

They never could be sure about the day he was born[00:04:01]

A motherless child set to working on the farm[00:04:07]

And they never could be sure about the day he died[00:04:12]

The Bear was the king they cast aside beware[00:04:17]

The Bear's in town[00:04:22]

Somebody's money says[00:04:23]

The Bear's going down[00:04:25]

Yeah[00:04:26]

The Bear never smiles[00:04:27]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:04:28]

Sonny's going down for miles and miles[00:04:31]
