Charlemagne
GThe manager is waiting to be paid
C G
Along with priests and deacons of his court
C
A quartermaster, quite a man, a mistress of the line
Has found a last cent avenue of Gpain
A Mardi Gras just passed this way a while ago
Making hungry people of us all
Along the Mississippi you can hear the fiddlers play
Fandangos and boleros to the lord
Chorus:
CMany times, Gmany tried,
CSimple stories are the Gbest
CKeep in mind, Gthe wishful kind,
CDon't wanna be like all the Grest.
My uncle was a vicar in the big parade
Selling fountain pens that never write
San Sebastian gamblers never cheat nor lie
They know good fences make good neighbours
D C
I wish I knew what time of year it was
DWhat kind of people will be Cthere
DWhen gruesome tales of two Ccities ran
C7Running all the Gway
Father might have heard his prayers were answered
Inhibitions all the way from home
Consider now, consider then before the deed is done
The blood of consolation runs so true
Chorus
