Need the rest of the lyrics to: I met him in Seattle Bellied up to a bottle Telling lies at the Blue Moon Bar

His face was hard and traveled And as the lines unraveled I saw a man who could laugh about his scars.

Women gonna be the death of me, But what a way to go.

What A Way To Go

Words & Music by Bobby David & Jim Rushing

I met him in Seattle,
he was gettin' down on the bottle
Tellin' lies in The Blue Moon Bar.
His face was hard and travelled,
and as the lines unravelled
I saw a man who could laugh about his scars.

He said,
"I got Shanghaied in Vegas
By a painted woman.
I got hog-tied by a hustler in Ohio.
I got derailed by a dancer
Down in Dallas.
Women gonna be the death of me,
But what a way to go!"

He said a girl named Nancy
Once tickled his fancy
And backed it up with a fifty dollar smile.
He laughed when he remembered
The pain of sweet surrender,
But heartaches never seemed to cramp his style.

He said
"I got tongue-tied by a teacher
In Tallahassee.
I got French fried by a waitress
In Idaho.
I got waylaid by a widow
In Wyoming.
Women gonna be the death of me,
But what a way to go!"

"I got Shanghaied in Vegas
By a painted woman.
I got hog-tied by a hustler in Ohio.
I got derailed by a dancer
Down in Dallas.
Women gonna be the death of me,
But what a way to go!"
