Lyrics The Kid's Last Fight - Frankie Laine
It
was
Tiger
Wilson
versus
Kid
McCoy
In
the
summer
of
ninety-three
Now
the
Kid
was
everybody's
pride
and
joy
Just
as
game
as
a
kid
could
be
And
his
darlin'
Bess
was
in
the
second
row
She
was
prayin'
with
all
her
might
Sayin,
"Kid,
we
need
that
little
bungalow
Oh,
you've
just
gotta
win
tonight"
Come
on,
Kid,
come
on,
Kid
Let's
hit
him
with
a
left
and
a
right
Go
on,
Kid,
go
on,
Kid
But
how
were
they
to
know
it
was
the
Kid's
last
fight
(But
how
were
they
to
know
it
was
the
Kid's
last
fight)
Now
the
Kid
had
fever
to
the
very
bone
But
nobody
would
ever
guess
He
was
in
there
fightin'
on
his
heart
alone
Cause
he
just
had
to
win
for
Bess
Oh,
the
Kid
was
battered,
the
Kid
was
floored
But
the
count
never
got
to
ten
Though
his
brain
was
reelin'
when
the
people
roared
He
was
up
on
his
feet
again
Come
on,
Kid,
come
on,
Kid
Let's
hit
him
with
a
left
and
a
right
Go
on,
Kid,
go
on,
Kid
But
how
were
they
to
know
it
was
the
Kid's
last
fight
(But
how
were
they
to
know
it
was
the
Kid's
last
fight)
Said
the
Tiger,
scowlin',
don't
you
know
you're
through
I
can
whip
you
just
like
a
child
I'm
gonna
take
the
fight
and
take
your
woman
too
When
he
heard
that
the
Kid
went
wild
Said
the
Kid,
"For
that
I'll
tear
you
limb
from
limb"
And
he
sprang
like
an
angry
colt
He
said
a
punch
a-flyin
at
the
Tiger's
chin
Knocked
him
out
like
a
thunderbolt
Come
on,
Kid,
come
on,
Kid
Let's
hit
him
with
a
left
and
a
right
Go
on,
Kid,
go
on,
Kid
But
how
were
they
to
know
it
was
the
Kid's
last
fight
(But
how
were
they
to
know
it
was
the
Kid's
last
fight)
To
the
crowd
that
saw
it
there
was
little
doubt
That
the
Kid
was
a
champ
that
night
But
the
champ
would
never
have
another
bout
Twas
the
fever
that
won
the
fight
Gather
round,
I'm
bettin'
even
money
folks
There's
a
bell
soundin'
way
up
high
And
the
champ
is
climbin'
through
the
golden
ropes
Of
the
Big
Ring
up
in
the
sky
Come
on,
Kid,
come
on,
Kid
Let's
hit
him
with
a
left
and
a
right
Go
on,
Kid,
go
on,
Kid
But
how
were
they
to
know
it
was
the
Kid's
last
fight
