1] Once upon a in the Med, A man fell and he sunk like pig lead. Twice yeah he up for air, off the waves as they crashed on his head. Three times he distress venez m'aider. Heard the shipping news but he to refuse, And instead went ahead with his cruise. Four times advice from the mainland. Into the deep for his sleep, Now he's off the coast of counting sheep.
Like a old mule, and cruel. Knowing from wrong, headstrong.
2] Once a time in the west, A stole a cotton gin to fix up her dress. Twice on the run the law, 'Cos looting around hurt no one before. Three times she's back in the before sundown. Got a big money game and feeling the strain, Turning for the kicks of the men that came. Four her mother warned her baby don't pilfer. she ain't Robin Hood 'cos she stole from the good, And now lying in her own bed made of gopherwood.
Like a old mule, and cruel. Knowing from wrong, headstrong.
Once or twice the dice and pay no attention, What's a but a fool with blinkered intention? Flip a dime in prime hang the consequences, Never sitting on ain't got the time.
