《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 82

[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

[00:00:19] The dealer was a woman

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

[00:00:26] She smiled at me so pretty

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

[00:00:29] As a big man crossed the table

[00:00:32] Stood up and slapped my face

[00:00:37] Bowie knife Bowie knife

[00:00:40] Long glittering 'steel

[00:00:43] If my gun don't take your evil life

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

[00:00:52] I had my choice of weapons on

[00:00:54] Which would depend my life

[00:00:56] I chose a set of pistols

[00:00:58] And a long old Bowie knife

[00:01:03] I met him by the river by

[00:01:04] The light of the rising sun

[00:01:06] Was I prepared to fight him

[00:01:09] I feared my time had come

[00:01:13] Bowie knife Bowie knife

[00:01:17] Long glittering steel

[00:01:20] If my gun don't take your evil life

[00:01:23] You can bet my Bowie knife will

[00:01:29] As we stood back to

[00:01:30] Back there on the dooling green

[00:01:32] I cursed the fate that had brought me

[00:01:35] To the town of New Orleans

[00:01:39] The referee started counting

[00:01:41] The paces one by one

[00:01:43] When I heard him say twenty

[00:01:45] I turned and fired my gun

[00:01:50] I knew at once I'd missed

[00:01:51] And I waited there in fear as

[00:01:53] The stranger aimed and fired

[00:01:56] But the bullet went by my ear

[00:02:00] He threw away his pistol and drew his Bowie knife

[00:02:04] I knew that razor edge would soon snap off my life

[00:02:11] But somehow luck was with me

[00:02:12] And my weapon found his side

[00:02:14] He lay there on the dooling ground

[00:02:17] Then he cursed me as he died

[00:02:21] Bowie knife Bowie knife

[00:02:25] Long glittering steel

[00:02:28] If my gun don't take your evil life

[00:02:32] You can bet my Bowie knife will

[00:02:35] You can bet my Bowie knife will

[00:02:38] You can bet my Bowie knife will
