1
Old silver died last Saturday evenin'
2
Or was it more like ten years ago
3
She nailed two dozen roses to the top of his coffin
4
And buried'em deep where they never would grow
5
Lord she buried'em deep where they never would grow
6
Now the Irish are funny, they'll cry when they have to
7
And the lady she moaned such a mournful sound
8
Me and the Mexican just finished the bottle
9
And remembered the days when Old Silver was around
10
Yeah remembered the days when Old Silver was around
11
'Cause Old Silver took the best of it with him
12
The lovers and the dealers and the dreamers of dreams
13
And Old Silver took the love of a lady
14
Who never got over Old Silver and me
15
Lord she never got over Old Silver and me
16
Old Silver had the magic and he carried the money
17
With the grace of a gambler and he lost it with ease
18
And he knew his lines better than any good carny barker
19
Wore the best damn boots that you ever have seen
20
He had the best snake-skin boots that you ever have seen
21
Now the lady she loved him and she never asked questions
22
Though she laid awake wonderin' on many a night
23
She swore she was leavin' most every mornin'
24
But she always would kiss him when he turned out the lights
25
She was always right there when he turned out the lights
26
CHORUS
27
Now there's always a sidekick in every B-western
28
Who's always in love with a lady who leaves
29
But she can't stand the memory so I really don't blame her
30
For taking the very first Greyhound she'd seen
31
But god I hate her for takin' the first Greyhound she'd seen
32
CHORUS
33
Old Silver died last Saturday evenin'
34
Or was it more like ten years ago
