Subject: RE: The Ballad of Pancho and Lefty
I spend my days on the road, in motel rooms all full of mold. Tryin' to fight the bosses greed, spreadin'out the workers creed. Its important work you know its true takes all my time to push it through So why am I sitting here with you laughing like a fool????
Spaw, he is a funny boy Charley constantly sings "Ships Ahoy" Amos, a master of hyperbole He's almost as good as me Up in Princeton, Dick bitches of wrongs committed by rubes on the old songs What Little Hawk is saying in Canada's snows Ain't nobody knows
All the bosses are happy today Cause ole Mick has gone away, instead of fighting for fairer pay He's writing this stupid song
