Bowie Knife - Frankie laine[00:00:00]
Written by:Edward Truman/Mike Oatman[00:00:00]
I got off the riverboat in New Orleans[00:00:00]
In the spring of 82[00:00:04]
I walked into a gambling house[00:00:08]
As gamblers often do[00:00:11]
I had myself a drink[00:00:16]
And I joined in a poker game[00:00:18]
The dealer was a woman[00:00:20]
So I asked her for her name[00:00:22]
She smiled at me so pretty[00:00:26]
But a hush fell over the place[00:00:28]
As a big man crossed the table[00:00:29]
Stood up and slapped my face[00:00:32]
Bowie knife Bowie knife[00:00:37]
Long glitterin' steel[00:00:41]
If my gun don't take your evil life[00:00:43]
You can bet my Bowie knife will[00:00:47]
I had my choice of weapons on[00:00:53]
Which would depend my life[00:00:55]
I chose a set of pistols[00:00:56]
And a long old Bowie knife[00:00:58]
I met him by the river by[00:01:03]
The light of the rising sun[00:01:05]
Was I prepared to fight him[00:01:06]
I feared my time had come[00:01:09]
Bowie knife Bowie knife[00:01:14]
Long glitterin' steel[00:01:17]
If my gun don't take your evil life[00:01:20]
You can bet my Bowie knife will[00:01:23]
As we stood back to[00:01:29]
Back there on the doolin' green[00:01:30]
I cursed the fate that had brought me[00:01:32]
To the town of New Orleans[00:01:35]
The referee started counting[00:01:39]
The paces one by one[00:01:41]
When I heard him say twenty[00:01:43]
I turned and fired my gun[00:01:45]
I kNew at once I'd missed[00:01:50]
And I waited there in fear as[00:01:51]
The stranger aimed and fired[00:01:53]
But the bullet went by my ear[00:01:56]
He threw away his pistol and drew his Bowie knife[00:02:00]
I kNew that razor edge would soon snap off my life[00:02:04]
But somehow luck was with me[00:02:11]
And my weapon found his side[00:02:12]
He lay there on the doolin' ground[00:02:14]
Then he cursed me as he died[00:02:17]
Bowie knife Bowie knife[00:02:22]
Long glitterin' steel[00:02:25]
If my gun don't take your evil life[00:02:28]
You can bet my Bowie knife will[00:02:32]
You can bet my Bowie knife will[00:02:35]
You can bet my Bowie knife will[00:02:38]
