There are songs about fox hunting, ferreting, boxing, horse racing-- I wonder why I've never run across a song about cock fighting before? Lyrics copied from http://www.kalaajkal.com/lyrics/lyric/504053 LOUISIANA COCK FIGHT John Nitzinger Let's have a big hand for the referee, Havin' this event you're about to see. Got two red roosters wearin' razor blades, A cinch that only one's gonna walk away. There's a creature from New Orleans never lost a fight, Bet you couldn't beat him with a gun and a knife. Judging by your scars you're a bettin' man, So welcome to a Louisiana cock fight. Get it on - get it on.... There's a cottonmouth farmer come from Baton Rouge, Meanest man around; he don't like to lose. Brought a cock fighter back from Mexico, Give him half a chance he would slit your throat. I've got us two seats in the second row. I see the referee's 'bout to start the show. Judging by your scars you're a bettin' man, So welcome to a Louisiana cock fight. Get it on - get it on.... The creature from New Orleans was the first to strike. He came a-spittin' fire out to take a life. That screamin' devil's feet never touched the ground, While the bird from Mexico tried to cut him down. But I never got to see who had won the fight. That cottonmouth farmer he shot out the light, Took everybody's money and the sheriff's wife, So welcome to a Louisiana cock fight. Get it on - get it on.... |
