Testo Nine Lives - Jon Allen
Testo della canzone Nine Lives (Jon Allen), tratta dall'album Seven Dials
I wasn't born with no spoon of silver
I wasn't born with no spoon of gold
But hard times make a mind for trouble
Hard times make a poor man bold
I could have stayed Owen Woods apprentice
I could have stayed on the road that's straight
I could have stuck with the hand they dealt me
But playing patience wasn't my fate
Who's gonna save my soul
Who's gonna set me free
Cause when the morning comes
They're gonna take me to the hanging tree
I found a taste for that hard liquor
And the temptations of the flesh
At a barroom they call Haynes Tavern
With a good time girl named Bess
And some say that it was Bessy
Led me on to a life a crime
But Eve gave the apple to Adam
Cause he didn't want to walk that line
Who's gonna save my soul
Who's gonna set me free
Cause when the morning comes
They're gonna take me to the hanging tree
Well John Wild loves making money
Playing both sides of the law
If you want to get ahead in this town
You got to cut him into every score
But I wouldn't do the will of John Wild
So he went out and lent down Bess
He plied her with wine and whiskey
Till my whereabouts she did confess
Now I'm back here inside Newgate Prison
Bound hand and foot to the floor
In a strong room they call the castle
I guess this cat ain't got nine lives no more
Who's gonna save my soul
Who's gonna set me free
Cause when the morning comes
They're gonna take me to the hanging tree
Who's gonna save my soul
Who's gonna set me free
Cause when the morning comes
They're gonna take me to the hanging tree
