Ray Kennedy - What A Way To Go lyrics

rate me

I met him in Seattle, bellied up to a bottle<br />

Tellng lies in the Blue Moon Bar<br />

His face was hard and traveled and as the lines unraveled, <br />

I saw a man who could laugh about his scars<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

He said I got Shanghied in Vegas by a painted woman<br />

I got hog-tied by a red-head in Ohio<br />

I got derailed by a dancer down in Dallas<br />

He said, women gonna be the death a me, but what a way to go<br />

<br />

He said a girl named Nancy once tickled his fancy<br />

And backed it up with a hundred dollar smile<br />

He laughed about that Madam Rue, she was into Voodoo<br />

A little weird but she always drove him wild<br />

<br />

He said I got tongue-tied by a teacher in Tallahassee<br />

I got french-fried by a waitress in Idaho<br />

I got way-laid by a widow in Wyoming<br />

He said, women gonna be the death a me, but what a way to go<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

He said, women gonna be the death a me, but what a way to go
