This is a story about an old saloon bar Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards You've got the whores, women for your lust Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust
Once was a lady called Old Snaked Eyed Jane Born on the prairies, father was a gamblin' man He was a joker always aces high In a gamblin' bet won an old saloon bar They had their troubles n' their strifes Try bringing up three kids and a pregnant wife On a wagon-train full of misery, yeah! They sang their sorrows across the old prairie
[Chorus:] This is a story about an old saloon bar Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards You've got the whores, women for your lust Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust
There's bad men Indians coming down the way Loaded guns, being fired away Those Indians they ran for their lives Smoked their peace pipe became... friends for life
[Chorus: x2] This is a story about an old saloon bar Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards You've got your whores, women for your lust Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust
In troubled times of old Across the mountains in search of gold Prospect town ride saddles sore Travellers treasure like a rich man fucked the whore
[Chorus:] This is a story about an old saloon bar Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards You've got your whores, women for your lust Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust...yeee hawww!
Well old Judd clamped it in the balls Up in the hills, tryin' to catch a horse That fated day outlaws came to town First thing they did was shoot the sheriff down
Then they stumbled across an old saloon bar They shot a drunk, threw Old Snake Eye across the bar Hope they see we paid to hunt them down Pulled a twelve whore shot those robbers down [?]
[Chorus:] This is a story about an old saloon bar Win a herd of cattle, with a deck of cards You've got your whores, women for your lust Sippin' moonshine, poker sure to bust...yeee hawww!
