《Bowie Knife》歌词

[00:00:00] Bowie Knife - Frankie laine

[00:00:00] I got off the riverboat in New Orleans

[00:00:04] In the spring of eighty two

[00:00:08] I walked into a gambling house

[00:00:11] As gamblers often do

[00:00:16] I had myself a drink

[00:00:18] And I joined in a poker game

[00:00:20] The dealer was a woman

[00:00:22] So I asked her for her name

[00:00:27] She smiled at me so pretty

[00:00:28] But a hush fell over the place

[00:00:30] As a big man crossed the table

[00:00:33] Stood up and slapped my face

[00:00:38] Bowie knife bowie knife long glittering steel

[00:00:44] If my gun don't take your evil life

[00:00:47] You can bet my bowie knife will

[00:00:53] I had my choice of weapons on

[00:00:55] Which would depend my life

[00:00:57] I chose a set of pistols

[00:00:59] And a long old bowie knife

[00:01:04] I met him by the river by the

[00:01:06] Light of the rising sun

[00:01:07] Was I prepared to fight him

[00:01:10] I feared my time had come

[00:01:14] Bowie knife bowie knife long glittering steel

[00:01:21] If my gun don't take your evil life

[00:01:24] You can bet my bowie knife will

[00:01:30] As we stood back to back there

[00:01:32] On the dooling green

[00:01:33] I cursed the fate that had brought me

[00:01:36] To the town of New Orleans

[00:01:40] The referee started counting the paces one by one

[00:01:44] When I heard him say twenty

[00:01:47] I turned and fired my gun

[00:01:51] I knew at once I'd missed

[00:01:53] And I waited there in fear as

[00:01:55] The stranger aimed and fired

[00:01:57] But the bullet went by my ear

[00:02:01] He threw away his pistol

[00:02:03] And drew his bowie knife

[00:02:05] I knew that razor edge

[00:02:08] Would soon snap off my life

[00:02:12] But somehow luck was with me and my

[00:02:14] Weapon found his side

[00:02:16] He lay there on the doolingground

[00:02:18] Then he cursed me as he died

[00:02:23] Bowie knife bowie knife long glittering steel

[00:02:30] If my gun don't take your evil life

[00:02:33] You can bet my bowie knife will

[00:02:36] You can bet my bowie knife will

[00:02:40] You can bet my bowie knife will
