[03:39.00]I met him in Seattle, he was gettin' down on a bottle
[03:39.00]Telling lies in the Blue Moon Bar
[03:39.00]His face was hard and travelled, and as the wine unravelled
[03:39.00]I saw a man who could laugh about his scars
[03:39.00]He said, I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman
[03:39.00]I got hog-tied by a hustler in Ohio
[03:39.00]I got derailed by a dancer down in Dallas
[03:39.00]Oh Lord, he said, women gonna be the death of me but what a way to go
[03:39.00]He said a girl named Nancy, once tickled his fancy
[03:39.00]And backed it up with a fifty dollar smile
[03:39.00]He laughed when he remembered, the pain of sweet surrender
[03:39.00]But heartaches never seemed to cramp his style
[03:39.00]He said, I got tongue-tied by a teacher in Tallahassee
[03:39.00]I got french-fried by a waitress in Idaho
[03:39.00]I got way-laid by a widow in Wyoming
[03:39.00]Oh Lord, he said, women gonna be the death of me but what a way to go
[03:39.00]He said, I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman
[03:39.00]I got hog-tied by a hustler in Ohio
[03:39.00]I got derailed by a dancer down in Dallas
[03:39.00]Oh Lord, he said, women gonna be the death of me but what a way to go
