Little Buffalo Rock - Fred Eaglesmith
I saw Big Bear Henry Two Turtle Jim Rolling into town, they was ridin' on the rims Sold their tires to buy themselves A couple of cases of beer They got there a little too late So they broke down the door And they shot up the place Now everybody's gone crazy 'round here And it's restless nights and endless fights A hundred miles an hour and no headlights Fiddles and accordions Tear stained steel guitars It's a tar-paper shack Whiskey and smack Two guns left on a five rifle rack Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed And that's for sure Set up the barricade on the line The cops came down and bullets were flying Held 'em up and then we held 'em off 'Till just afore dawn They got Bear and then they got Jim And then we got a couple of them And if we make the trade They say they'll call it off And it's restless nights and endless fights A hundred miles an hour and no headlights Fiddles and accordions Tear stained steel guitars It's a tar-paper shack Whiskey and smack Two guns left on a five rifle rack Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed And that's for sure Up in the churchyard the choir is a'singing I can hear mandolins ringing Dogs are a'barkin', ambulances wailin' Out on the edge of town The radio says the whole thing is over But there ain't much that they don't know 'Cause tomorrow morning the whole thing's gonna go down And it's restless nights and endless fights A hundred miles and hour and no headlights Fiddles and accordions Tear stained steel guitars It's a tar-paper shack Whiskey and smack Two guns left on a five rifle rack Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed And that's for sure Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed And that's for sure Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed And that's for sure
