The Fool's Paradise - Jim Reeves[00:00:00]
As I write this letter to you darling[00:00:10]
I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes[00:00:18]
For at sundown I will lay a dying[00:00:26]
At the door of the fool's paradise[00:00:34]
Rode into this cattle town this morning[00:00:41]
Left my bearer to check the market price[00:00:49]
And I walked into the nearest barroom[00:00:57]
They call it the fool's paradise[00:01:04]
There the crowd was gay and girls were dancing[00:01:12]
And the men were playing cards and dice[00:01:19]
So I stepped up to the bar to join them[00:01:27]
What a grand place this fool's paradise[00:01:34]
It was then I showed to them your picture[00:01:42]
I passed it around once or twice[00:01:50]
Then a man insulted your sweet honor[00:01:57]
At the bar of the fool's paradise[00:02:05]
So I slapped his face and I told him[00:02:14]
I said you eat 'em words mister or draw that's my advice[00:02:17]
And he said well somebody might get hurty inside[00:02:24]
But I'll be glad to meet you in the street at sundown[00:02:30]
At sundown in front of the fool's paradise[00:02:36]
So goodbye my darling may god bless you[00:02:42]
I go to make this sacrifice[00:02:51]
And if ever you visit old dodge city[00:02:58]
Remember the fool's paradise[00:03:06]
