R.
I saw a movie one time,
it starred Gregory Peck
and your fall-by-the sword
love affair with Errol Flynn,
I said “Oh, no! no! I’ve been through
this movie before.”
O.
All I really wanna do,
(sittin’ on a barbed wire fence),
singin’ love’s praises, I sung
the song slowly.
C.
I’m on the pavement (muttering small
talk at the wall), only sighing:
I can walk, around the block,
anytime.
K.
I see my light come shining,
got my back to the sun,
sick and tired of the war,
got a new pony and I’ll lie
in my bed, once again.
A.
My name it is nothing by the name
of Priest; they asked me what my name was,
(his name wasn’t Henry Porter)
I said “Captain Kidd”,
but I feel just like a Jesse James.
D.
I was young when I left home,
I’ll be a long time gone
walkin’ down the line,
that long, lonesome road, babe —
I can’t help it if I’m lucky.
