The Clover Saloon Lyrics

[00:03.16] I'm just a dusty cowhand,
[00:05.62] A dusty, thirsty soul.
[00:07.87] I used to keep my money
[00:09.62] In a pocket with a hole.
[00:12.37] I've got one ambition
[00:14.79] Like wishing for the moon:
[00:17.29] To drink a glass of pleasure,
[00:19.77] Four-measure, bulgin' out and brimmin' over
[00:23.00] At the Clover Saloon.
[00:29.14] I was settin' there one evening'
[00:31.62] And feelin' I was straight.
[00:34.11] A fella called me somethin'
[00:35.98] I particularly hate.
[00:38.61] I threw a bottle at him,
[00:40.95] But the feller ducked to soon.
[00:43.45] That's how I lost my credit
[00:45.36] At the Clover Saloon.
[00:51.75] I'm just a dusty cowhand
[00:53.99] And, brother, I am broke.
[00:56.73] And, brother, I'm so thirsty
[00:58.92] I'm goin' up in smoke.
[01:01.44] I've got one ambition
[01:03.68] Like wishing for the moon:
[01:06.13] To drink a glass of pleasure,
[01:08.60] Four-measure, bulgin' out and brimmin' over
[01:12.23] At the Clover Saloon.
[01:18.43] Threw the bottle at him
[01:20.48] And missed him like I said.
[01:23.17] I broke the bar-room mirror
[01:25.36] And left it there for dead.
[01:27.89] I shot him through the middle
[01:30.24] To make him change his tune.
[01:32.78] That's how I lost my credit
[01:34.66] At the Clover Saloon.
[01:41.05] I'm just a dusty cowhand
[01:43.43] A-waitin' for the worst.
[01:45.85] They're hangin' me tomorrow
[01:47.94] In the middle of my thirst.
[01:50.70] I've got one ambition
[01:53.16] Like wishing for the moon:
[01:55.57] To drink a glass of pleasure,
[01:58.11] Four-measure, bulgin' out and brimmin' over
[02:01.68] At the Clover Saloon.
[02:06.15]
