[00:00:00] Song For Sonny Liston - Mark Knopfler

[00:00:01] Written by：Mark Knopfler

[00:00:11] So many mouths to feed on the farm

[00:00:17] Sonny was the second to the last one born

[00:00:22] His mamma ran away and his daddy beat him bad

[00:00:27] And he grew up wild good love he never had

[00:00:30] He had a left like Henry's hammer

[00:00:33] A right like Betty Bamalam

[00:00:36] Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread

[00:00:38] And all them sluggers went down like lead

[00:00:52] Well he hung with the hoods he wouldn't stroke the fans

[00:00:57] But he had dynamite in both his hands

[00:01:03] Boom bam like the slammer door

[00:01:08] The bell and the can and the bodies on the floor

[00:01:11] Beware

[00:01:13] The bear's in town

[00:01:14] Somebody's money says

[00:01:15] The bear's going down

[00:01:17] Yeah

[00:01:18] The bear never smiles

[00:01:19] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:01:22] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:01:30] Yeah

[00:01:35] The writers didn't like him the fight game jocks

[00:01:41] With his lowlife backers and his hands like rocks

[00:01:47] They didn't want to have a bogey man

[00:01:52] They didn't like him and he didn't like them

[00:01:55] Black Cadillac

[00:01:56] Alligator boots

[00:01:57] Money in the pockets of his sharkskin suits

[00:02:00] Some say

[00:02:01] The bear took a flop

[00:02:03] They couldn't believe it when they saw him drop

[00:02:05] He had a left like Henry's hammer

[00:02:08] A right like Betty Bamalam

[00:02:11] Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread

[00:02:14] And all them sluggers went down like lead

[00:02:27] Joe louis was his hero he tried to be the same

[00:02:32] But a criminal child wears a ball and chain

[00:02:38] So the civil rights people didn't want him on the throne

[00:02:43] And the hacks and the cops wouldn't leave him alone

[00:02:46] Beware

[00:02:47] The Bear's in town

[00:02:49] Somebody's money says

[00:02:50] The Bear's going down

[00:02:51] Yeah

[00:02:53] The Bear never smiles

[00:02:54] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:02:57] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:03:05] Oh yeah

[00:03:10] At the foot of his bed with his feet on the floor

[00:03:16] There was d**e in his veins and a pistol on the drawer

[00:03:21] There was no investigation as such

[00:03:27] He hated needles but he knew too much

[00:03:30] Criss

[00:03:30] Crossed

[00:03:31] On his back

[00:03:32] Scars from his daddy like slavery tracks

[00:03:35] The second last child was the second last king

[00:03:37] Never again was it the same in the ring

[00:03:40] He had a left like Henry's hammer

[00:03:43] A right like Betty Bamalam

[00:03:45] Rode with the muggers

[00:03:47] In the dark and dread

[00:03:48] And all them sluggers went down like lead

[00:03:56] Yeah

[00:04:01] They never could be sure about the day he was born

[00:04:07] A motherless child set to working on the farm

[00:04:12] And they never could be sure about the day he died

[00:04:17] The Bear was the king they cast aside beware

[00:04:22] The Bear's in town

[00:04:23] Somebody's money says

[00:04:25] The Bear's going down

[00:04:26] Yeah

[00:04:27] The Bear never smiles

[00:04:28] Sonny's going down for miles and miles

[00:04:31] Sonny's going down for miles and miles
