Three-Legged Man - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]
Now friends you'd never guess it[00:00:05]
So I really must confess it[00:00:07]
I just met the sweetest woman[00:00:09]
Of my long dismal life[00:00:11]
But a friend of mine said buddy[00:00:14]
Just in case your mind is muddy[00:00:16]
Don't you know that girl you're fooling[00:00:19]
With is Peg-Leg Johnson's wife[00:00:21]
And that man is hard and cold and mean and grim[00:00:24]
And he'll catch you and he'll brain you[00:00:29]
With his artificial limb[00:00:31]
But next morning bright and early[00:00:34]
I stole old Peg-Leg's girlie[00:00:36]
And I also took his wooden leg[00:00:39]
Just to play it safe[00:00:42]
But there weren't no time for laughter[00:00:44]
'Cause he started hopping after[00:00:46]
And I keep on running faster[00:00:48]
But he won't give up the chase[00:00:51]
And I'm running through the mountains with his bride[00:00:53]
And I got his wooden leg here by my side[00:00:58]
I'm a three-legged man with a two-legged woman[00:01:03]
Being chased across country by a[00:01:08]
One-legged fool[00:01:12]
Though he's hopping and he's clapping[00:01:13]
And he shows no sign of stopping[00:01:16]
I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel[00:01:18]
Through the deserts and the valleys[00:01:23]
And those dark Chicago alleys[00:01:25]
Cross the muddy Mississippi[00:01:28]
To the hills of Caroline[00:01:30]
Through the mountains of Montana[00:01:33]
And the swamps of Louisiana[00:01:35]
Each time that I look back he's just about[00:01:38]
One foot behind[00:01:41]
And I know he must be cold and wet and sick[00:01:43]
But in spite of all his troubles he can kick[00:01:47]
Oh he's ragged and he's filthy[00:01:52]
And I'm feeling kinda guilty[00:01:55]
Specially in the evenings[00:01:58]
When I hear him plead and beg[00:02:00]
He says in spite of all your stealing friend[00:02:02]
I bear you no hard feelings[00:02:05]
You can keep that damned old woman[00:02:07]
But please give me back my leg[00:02:10]
'Cause old friend I know you think[00:02:12]
You took my wooden leg[00:02:14]
But in the dark you made a mistake[00:02:17]
You took my good leg[00:02:19]
I'm a three-legged man[00:02:22]
With a two-legged woman[00:02:24]
Being chased across country[00:02:27]
By a one-legged fool[00:02:29]
Though he's hopping and he's clapping[00:02:32]
And he shows no sign of stopping[00:02:34]
I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel[00:02:37]
I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel[00:02:42]
