New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Big Six lyrics

Hunter-Nelson My heart in my hat and my head in my pants I go down, down, down to the dance I go round, round, bow and retire Sit down with a good book in front of the fire Big Six, Big Six, tell us who where and when Before we forget and then tell us again How to charm women who don't want to know And how to have music wherever we go Tell us another time just to be sure It's straight from the heart not a pile of manure ‘bout loving your brother then picking him clean Of his last dollar bill, if you know what I mean Big Six, Big Six, tell us who where and why Some folks born to live and some others to die Tell us whatever you think we should know Cause we're ready to follow wherever you go Teach us to talk right, to do right, and then How to walk in like children and walk out like men So it's not just in one ear and out of the other How fear is one k**er, how love is another Big Six, Big Six, tell us who where and what The Devil was dealing when you sidled up And bought out a hand that was planning to fold Then walked out the door with a sack full of gold When I was hungry and sick without home Walking pneumonia as sadly I roam One thing I learned that I'll never forget The difference between a bad loan and a debt Big Six, Big Six, tell us who was in charge When they posted your warrant in letters so large Said: this man is a caution that all should avoid If you don't want all your illusions destroyed
