Martin Holzinger songs
Copyright 2003 by CiscoPike a.K.a Martin Holzinger/Birgit Kaeufler Taylor
Well he had pulled a fast one
and our mother was raisin up a storm
We?ve gone swiftly downhill
and life took its toll so strong
There?s a lot
of bread to be made
if your daddy?s a
gamblin?fool
He always fell to pieces
when his chips were down
Ten mouths to feed
at the dark end of the street
We?ve played them panhandle rags
and sometimes we stealt us a treat
My old brother took his chances
peddlin? reefers on the scene
He only knew since state fences
and got blackballed on a white man?s grin
There?s a lot
of bread to be made
if the welfare?s
straighten it out
We were cooning watermelons
and lived from the bottom of the deck
Ten mouths to feed
at the dark end of the street
We?ve played them panhandle rags
and sometimes we stealt us a treat
Well he had pulled a fast one
and our mother was raisin up a storm
We?ve gone swiftly downhill
and life took its toll so strong
There?s a lot
of bread to be made
if your daddy?s a
gamblin?fool
He always fell to pieces
when his chips were down
Ten mouths to feed
at the dark end of the street
We?ve played them panhandle rags
and sometimes we stealt us a treat
My old brother took his chances
peddlin? reefers on the scene
He only knew since state fences
and got blackballed on a white man?s grin
There?s a lot
of bread to be made
if the welfare?s
straighten it out
We were cooning watermelons
and lived from the bottom of the deck
Ten mouths to feed
at the dark end of the street
We?ve played them panhandle rags
and sometimes we stealt us a treat
