people does he own you that was pretty

hard on him it doesn't have anything you

everything around here the town banks

newspapers all those fields and the

people does he own you

that's pretty hard on a man who doesn't

have anything you know I don't have

enough to lose Big Jim only I don't

other common folks hey Stan yo Sam

I don't go home now Big Jim had a big

redheaded mucker working for him by the

name of Dick Finley oh I knew I was a

better trainer than Finley but I think

to figure that out so one night I went

to the bar where Finley hung out he was

a bit drunk I picked a fight with him

and I broke his arm

let goes to Big Jim and Isis they look

for here put your man out for a couple
