As I write this letter to you darling I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes For at sundown I will lay a dying at the door of the Fool's Paradise Rode into this cattle town this morning left my bearer to check the market price And I walked into the nearest barroom they call it the Fool's Paradise There the crowd was gay and girls were dancing And the men were playing cards and dies So I stepped up to the bar to join them what a grand place this Fool's Paradise It was then I showed to them your picture I passed it around once or twice Then a man insulted your sweet honor at the bar of the Fool's Paradise
So I slapped his face and I told him I said you eat 'em words Mister or draw that's my advice And he said well somebody might get hurty inside But I'll be glad to meet you in the street at sundown At sundown in front of the Fool's Paradise So goodbye my darling may God bless you I go to make this sacrifice And if ever you visit old Dodge City remember the Fool's ParadiseTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
