Tishamingo - Legend Of George Nelson lyrics

Well his Christian name is George but most call him Babyface Screamin' towards Innabena with Johnny Law puttin' on a chase Picked up three drifters (just) wanderin' down a lonesome road One of them pointed out to him (that) his foldin' money'd come unstowed George was in a line of work (that) required him to carry a gun (the)drifters met up with him on the tail end of a three bank run Bigger than any Johnny Law is all that George wanted to be The title he yearned for was crim'nal of the century Well it looks like ol' George is back on top again Hands bound behind him, he's beaming with pride Lightnin' will be shootin' through his fingertips For that moment of glory, he was willing to die Jesus saves, George withdraws, (and) the drifters seem to benefit from both A live wire and a Tommy gun, makes for a quite an outlaw show So hold your paws and drop your drawers, and don't you dare ring that warnin' bell (cause) folks my name is George Nelson - and I was born to raise hell With thrill-seeking folks like George, what goes up must come down All it takes is another thrill to bring their battered souls around Well a lynch mob caught up George and put him back on top again They brought livestock, fire, and fiddle, they even brought a mandolin Well it looks like ol' George is back on top again Hands bound behind him, he's beaming with pride Lightnin' will be shootin' through his fingertips For that moment of glory, he was willing to die (When) Babyface was electrified, power moved in a weird sort of way George's prayer was answered when he took all the power from the state You see control is merely relative, when perceived it certainly is a lie And in the end it was George "Babyface" Nelson who wound up bonafide
