Текст песни Fat Chance Dupree - Mark Knopfler

Fat Chance Dupree had it in for me
The cause of which I never could divine
Well, they say it had to be some kind of fear or jealousy
Anyhow, I did not see it at the time
Now Fat Chance Dupree was a trapper, same as me
Could have been a reason, I suppose
In the winter he'd come down from his mountain
Hunting grounds, but I never wanted any part of those
But who knows why?
Who knows why?
I wish I knew
Wish I knew
We feel the things we feel, do the things we do
Yeah, who knows why?
Who knows why?
I wish I knew
Wish I knew
We feel the things we feel, do the things we do
Kitty Mary used to come around, the most beautiful woman in town
We'd keep each other happy now and then
She did alert Father Chance Dupree might try to
Waylay me in the cotton woods down by the riverbend
I thought, "Come on if you're coming
Come on, Fats
Come on, if you're coming
Good luck with that." Now Fat Chance Dupree was lying
In wait for me, which I took to be considerable unkind
I took his weapon from his hand, which made him understand
He should not have took the path he had in mind
But who knows why?
Who knows why?
I wish I knew
Wish I knew
We feel the things we feel, do the things we do
Yeah, who knows why?
Who knows why?
I wish I knew
Wish I knew
We feel the things we feel, do the things we do
All right
