《Brian Hennessey》歌词

[00:00:00] Brian Hennesy - Bobby Bare

[00:00:03] Brian Hennessey sat back

[00:00:05] And let the gypsy read his palm

[00:00:09] When he saw her eyes grow wide and wild and dark

[00:00:17] And she whispered through her toothless gums

[00:00:20] And clutched him by the arm

[00:00:23] She said Boy I fear I see the devil's mark

[00:00:30] Brian Hennessey just laughed

[00:00:33] And pealed the ten spot from his roll

[00:00:37] Because he'd never ever known the taste of fear

[00:00:44] But he wondered why the summer nights should suddenly turn cold

[00:00:51] As the gypsy's words come ringing in his ear

[00:00:58] You can run you can hide Brian Hennessey she cried

[00:01:05] But you can't escape the fate that's in your hand

[00:01:12] And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal

[00:01:18] Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man

[00:01:28] Brian Hennessey walked through the doors of the Dining Dog Saloon

[00:01:35] Where he stopped to have his nightly glass of gin

[00:01:42] And the one eyed scar faced

[00:01:45] Stranger a dealing blackjack in the gloom

[00:01:49] Winked his ghastly grey glass eye and dealt him in

[00:01:56] Brian watched in fascination as the stranger's fingers flew

[00:02:03] Why he'd never seen such cheating done before

[00:02:09] And his hand closed around a handle of his snub nose 32

[00:02:16] When the gypsy's warning come to him once more

[00:02:23] Oh you can run you can hide Brian Hennessey she cried

[00:02:30] But you can't escape the fate that's in your hand

[00:02:37] And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal

[00:02:44] Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man

[00:02:54] Brian Hennessey just folded up his cards and walked away

[00:03:01] Holding back the rage that burned his soul

[00:03:08] And he stopped to have some coffee at the Mockingbird Cafe

[00:03:14] But that slender blue eyed waitress was his goal

[00:03:22] And a few words from his silver tongue

[00:03:25] Soon turned her flutty head

[00:03:28] She said My husband's out of town you need not fear

[00:03:34] But as he pressed her to the softness

[00:03:38] Of her flutty feathered bed

[00:03:41] On her pillows he saw written bright and clear

[00:03:48] Oh you can run you can hide daring letters clear and wide

[00:03:55] Said you can't escape the fate that's in your hand

[00:04:02] And say how does it feel to have dealt your final deal

[00:04:09] Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man

[00:04:16] Brian Hennessey he stumbled down the stairs into the street

[00:04:23] And from that day on he changed his wicked life

[00:04:29] And he never drunk or gambled and he never dealt no dough

[00:04:36] And he never touched another fellow's wife

[00:04:44] And years later he met the gypsy

[00:04:47] When his days were almost done

[00:04:50] He said Ha ha I beat your curse don't you know

[00:04:57] But when she saw the frightened trembling

[00:05:00] Withered wretch that he'd become

[00:05:03] She said Brian you died twenty years ago

[00:05:10] Because you ran and you hid that's exactly what you did

[00:05:17] But you didn't escape the fate that's in your hand

[00:05:24] And say how did it feel to have dealt your final deal

[00:05:31] Go on lay down Brian you're a dying man
