San Francisco Fan
2
Loved a no-good gamblin' man;
3
She drank the coffee dregs so she could fry his eggs
4
In a golden fryin' pan.
5
Can-canned by command,
6
Of the Gold Rush Cafe clan,
7
She gave her man her pay; he gambled it away
8
Playing Chinatown fan-tan.
9
Once they caught him cheatin'
10
And he knew that he was beaten,
11
When a miner aimed a pistol at his head,
12
Fanny, when she seen 'em,
13
Ran and jumped right inbetween 'em,
14
And she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead.
15
There was Fanny dyin'
16
While a hundred men were cryin'
17
And the angels up above were cryin', too;
18
When seven horses started draggin'
19
Fanny's coffin in a wagon
20
Down a dusty California avenue.
21
San Francisco Fan
22
Gave her life to save her man,
23
A man who wasn't worth a shovelful of earth
24
From the grave of San Francisco Fan.
25
San Francisco Fan
26
Gave her life to save a man,
27
A man who wasn't worth a shovelful of earth
28
From the grave of San Francisco Fan.
