Cab Calloway - San Francisco Can lyrics

San Francisco Fan Loved a no-good gamblin' man; She drank the coffee dregs so she could fry his eggs In a golden fryin' pan Can-canned by command Of the Gold Rush Cafe clan She gave her man her pay; he gambled it away Playing Chinatown fan-tan Once they caught him cheatin' And he knew that he was beaten When a miner aimed a pistol at his head Fanny, when she seen 'em Ran and jumped right inbetween 'em And she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead There was Fanny dyin' While a hundred men were cryin' And the angels up above were cryin', too; When seven horses started draggin' Fanny's coffin in a wagon Down a dusty California avenue San Francisco Fan Gave her life to save her man A man who wasn't worth a shovelful of earth From the grave of San Francisco Fan San Francisco Fan Gave her life to save a man A man who wasn't worth a shovelful of earth From the grave of San Francisco Fan
