Jack Straw


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 on rollin, just a mile to go;
Keep on rollin my old buddy, you're movin much too slow

I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence
Took his rings, four bucks in change, aint 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 been me

We used to play for silver, now we play for life;
And ones for sport and ones for blood at the point of a knife
And now the die is shaken, now the die must fall
There aint a winner in the game, he don't go home with all
Not with all

Leavin texas, fourth day of july,
Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky
Catch the detroit lightnin out of sante fe,
The great northern out of cheyenne, from sea to shining sea

Gotta go to tulsa, first train we can ride
Gotta settle one old score, one small point of pride
There aint a place a man can hide, shannon will keep him from the sun
Aint a bed can give us rest now, you keep us on the run

Jack straw from wichita cut his buddy down,
And dug for him a shallow grave and laid 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
