CAPO 7

The Bone Daddy lifts his skull

from the piano lid to play—

lemme get a whiskey

and peach tea—

pistol on the table,

revolver in the holster,

—you ain’t gunna shoot me,

I’ve paid my drink fee.

Bodie Currency—

(Brown paper’s dead tree)

The deeds you’ve done for me,

or the ax to my family tree.

The rag time girl gets groovin’

to the keys played by bony

phelanges. Whiskey down,

the cards are

G E

hint of

free and the game is

cheap. But Jimmy always

carrys on, ya see? Losin’

gals’ he pulls his gun on me—

Bodie Currency—

(Red paper's blood money)

The deeds you’ve done for me,

or the ax to my family tree.

Hey boy I see you sittin' there

drink your whiskey down

But Bodie Currency ain't of value in my town

So I better see you get on up and go grab your things

Don't you return until the tumbleweed sings...)

(JoJo Bridge:

Hey boy I know you been heckled here and there 

but Bodie Currency ain't of value everywhere

 When cows go dry 

and the Sherrif gets his lonely blues

 you might wanna move along  just like the tumbleweed does)

Tumbleweed

you’re smoking buddy.

The goods I’ve grown—I’ve paid

my fee. Bodie don’t

Remember no Bodie don’t remember
