《Fisticuffs》歌词

[00:00:41] They found james ambrose dead in his cell

[00:00:44] A gaping gash in his arm had drained him down to hell

[00:00:48] No one knew for sure if ambrose was his name

[00:00:51] They called him yankee sullivan in early days of fame

[00:00:54] Hed known the game of fisticuffs had always treated him right

[00:00:58] But no one knew the men who came and took his life that night

[00:01:01] Hed spent some time in botany bay atoning for his sins

[00:01:25] He fought a bout with hammer lane and took a tainted win

[00:01:28] He was the hero of the bowery a prince of lawless times

[00:01:32] Then was battered by the butcherman in 1849

[00:01:35] He knew the game of fisticuffs he knew the game of might

[00:01:39] But no one knew the men who came and took his life one night

[00:01:43] He knew the game of fisticuffs

[00:01:52] Lilly and mccoy were shy of a hundred and forty pounds

[00:02:54] In 1842 they went a hundred and eighteen rounds

[00:02:57] They begged mccoy to cash it in he said that he would not

[00:03:01] Got up and fought one more round then died right on the spot

[00:03:05] He knew the game of fisticuffs he knew the game of fight

[00:03:08] But no one knew the game would come and take his life that night
