What A Way To Go - Wendel Adkins

作曲：B David/J Rushing

I met him in Seattle bellied up to a bottle

Tellng lies in the Blue Moon Bar

His face was hard and traveled

And as the lines unraveled

I saw a man who could laugh about his scars

He said I got Shanghied in Vegas

By a painted woman

I got hog-tied by a red-head in Ohio

I got derailed by a dancer down in Dallas

He said women gonna be the death a me

But what a way to go

He said a girl named Nancy once tickled his fancy

And backed it up with a hundred dollar smile

He laughed about that Madam Rue

She was into Voodoo

A little weird but she always drove him wild

He said I got tongue-tied

By a teacher in Tallahassee

I got french-fried by a waitress in Idaho

I got way-laid by a widow in Wyoming

He said women gonna be the death a me

But what a way to go

He said I got shanghaied in Vegas

By a painted woman

I got hog-tied by a hustler in Ohio

I got derailed by a dancer down in Dallas

Oh Lord he said women gonna be the

Death of me but what a way to go
