Slip Jigs and Reels
He was barely a man, in his grandfather's coat Sewn into the lining a ten shilling note Goodbye to the family, farwell to the shore If I taste good fortune, you'll see me no more
Then a boat on the ocean tossed like a cork And then one fine morning they sighted New York And he stood on the gangplank he breathed in the air Hello Land of Plenty I've come for my share
And he did like the ladies and rise and the fall Of their ankles and dresses down on the dancehall Rolling the dice, and spinning the wheels But he took most delight in the slip, jigs, and reels
Well now so same say a pistol and some say a knife But all are agreed there was somebody's wife A dreadful commotion, a terrible fight he left a man dead and ran into the night
On a train to St. Louis, just one jump ahead He slept one eye open, a six gun in bed he dreamed of the green hills and valleys of home Crossing the plains where the buffalo roam

And he did like the ladies and rise and the fall Of their ankles and dresses down on the dancehall Rolling the dice, and spinning the wheels But he took most delight in the slip, jigs, and reels
There's bones in the desert and buzzards that fly in highest of circles just wishing he'd die But in matters of cruelty it must be said The landlord will pick your bones before your dead.
It was wild Mesqualeros I heard someone say in the deadliest ambush near old Santa Fe And the young buck was taken, wrapped up in a coat And inside the lining a ten shilling note
And he did like the ladies and rise and the fall Of their ankles and dresses down on the dancehall Rolling the dice, and spinning the wheels But he took most delight in the slip, jigs, and reels
Rolling the dice, and spinning the wheels But he took most delight in the slip, jigs, and reels Lyrics found here
