Songtexte North Austin Slim - Calvin Russell

1 We were siting in
The pool hall on
A cold and windy day
Tellin jokes and funny
Stories just to pass
Some time away
2 The door slowly
Oppened and a form
Crept softly in
Everyone stopped their
Kidding when they saw
North Austin Slim
3 I'll be damn said
This dude from Waco
If it ain't Ole North Side Austin Slim
We're gonna have to
Make a brand new
Language to describe
The shape he's in
4 One night I was
Drinkin in a tavern
Puttin a mighty stew
That's when trouble
Happened to wander
In
And she sat
Beside me too
5 So I asked her if she
Wanted to have a drink
And she sweetly said
She would
As I gazed into those
Beautiful eyes
I thought
I understood
I'm not sayin women
Are my trouble
I'm not sayin women
Are no good
I'm just sayin that I
Can't live with 'em
But without 'em I
Wouldn't live
Even if I could
