The Other Ones

The Other Ones - Jack Straw lyrics

Your rating:

We can share the women

We can share the wine

We can share what we got of yours

'Cause we done shared all of mine



Keep a rolling

Just a mile to go

Keep on rolling, my old buddy

You're moving much too slow





I just jumped the watchman

Right outside the fence

Took his ring, four bucks in change

Now ain't that heaven sent?





Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon

Burns my eyes to see

Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon

Might as well be me





We used to play for silver

Now we play for life

One's for sport and one's for blood

At the point of a knife

Now the die is shaken

Now the die must fall

There ain't a winner in this game

Who don't go home with all

Not with all...





Leaving Texas

Fourth day of July


Sun so hot, clouds so low

The eagles filled the sky





Catch the Detroit Lightning

Out of Santa Fe

Great Northern out of Cheyenne

From sea to shining sea





Gotta get to Tulsa

First train we can ride

Got to settle one old score

And one small point of pride...





Ain't no place a man can hide, Shannon

Keep him from the sun

Ain't no bed will give us rest, man,

You keep us on the run





Jack Straw from Wichita

Cut his buddy down

Dug for him a shallow grave

And layed his body down





Half a mile from Tucson

By the morning light

One man gone and another to go

My old buddy you're moving much too slow





We can share the women 

we can share the wine...
