This whole town's too quiet -- No one's
outside
Frankie's boys ain't seen the pool hall in nearly 3 nights
The men who dare the gin mill,
They talk in whispers or drink in silence
If sonething's happening here I'm the last to know it
But you can feel it in the air, you can just tell
... Something's going down
Old Joe refused to drink the beer I
bought him
The local cripple would rather walk than take my ride
Hey Frankie's acting more than weird
and No I ain't seen Big Jim's bride
If something's happening here I'm, the last to know it
But you can feel it in the air, you can just tell
... Something's going down
Make me an angel Lord
and fly me from this town of Montgomery
Give me some wings or wheels to ride
I know of the woman that they seek but not where she hides
I just ain't seen no Jimmy's Bride
I just now came from Hildebrandt boarding
house
Lock stock and barrel what was mine was locked outside
With four flats on my baby blue Torino and why ask me
...why ask me about big Jim's bride?
I don't like this stinking town
I don't like what's going down
Make me an angel Lord
and fly me from this town of Montgomery
Give me some wings or wheels to ride
I know of the woman that they seek but not where she hides
I just ain't seen no Jimmy's Bride |
