Ballin' Keen - Bobby & Terry Caraway

Burn down in the state of Tennessee

There's a real cool cat called Ballin' Keen

He likes to rock an' he likes to roll

He's got rockin' in his soul

Well last Saturday night about twelve o'clock

Down on the corner they's startin' to rock

Ballin' Keen was havin' a ball

Swing 'em short an' swing 'em tall

Then Bulldog Johnny come strollin' in

Six feet six an' he ain't no friend

Kicked off a shoe an' he knocked out a light

He said move out cats there's gonna be a fight

Well Bulldog Johnny sorta cased the place

He looked old Ball right square in the face

Ballin' Keen was a-holdin' the ground

He said me or you one is leavin' town

Then the lights went out and they had a fight

Everybody wondered what happened that night

Nobody saw what was goin' on

When the lights come on Bulldog was gone

Now down in the state of Tennessee

There's the strangest legend that you ever did see

Nobody knows the answer 'cause nobody seen

Nobody 'cept ol' Ballin' Keen
