Samson dallies with the devil's daughter

Sweet Willie dies for true love's sake

Jawbones sound like a clarinet
Jawbone sound like a drum
Jawbone sound like a dog in heat
Or a trumpet from kingdom come
Jawbone got a thousand tricks
Jawbone talk about politics
Religion and death and law
I wanna tell you about that time, that time
I wanna tell you about that time
I want to tell you all the good old stories
Once the hurry is your hand
Back when the West was young
Whose sad death Bob Ford was blamed
By the bearers of a wagon ton
Most of all Juanita Perez
A token of a true fine dream
All the stories Jawbone tells
Always she's a central theme
I want to tell you about that time,
Shut the door and pull up a cat
I want to tell you about that time, that time
I want to tell you about that time
I want to tell you about the
