fool me once - jamestown revival lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was up there in the hills and i’d been out there for a while
stubborn as a soldier chipping steady at the stone
time up there was good to me, the proof in my packsaddle
it held three pokes of gold that i was proud to call my own

[verse 2]
i came upon some strangers one half step away from dead
i couldn’t leave ‘em dying so i gave them what i could
we were sitting round the fire when he snuck around behind me
landed me a blow that sent me early to my bed

[chorus]
fool me once, shame on you
fool me twice if you want to
i’ll get you in the end, i am a shadow of this land
folks call me the man from bitter sands

[verse 3]
they left me lying for dead roughly a hundred miles from nowhere
they left me there for dead and took the bread right from my hands
well, the desert feeds a desperate man if he knows just where to find it
tucked among the canyons and hidden in the sands

[verse 4]
i finally tracked ‘em down way out in tucson, arizona
i found him at a table, pair of queens tucked in his hand
i took claim to his winnings when his partner came behind me
put one in my back and left me lying as they as ran
[chorus]
fool me once, shame on you
fool me twice if you want to
i’ll get you in the end, i am a shadow of this land
folks call me the man from bitter sands

[verse 5]
i was bedfast for a while, but i would soon be in the saddle
a ghost among the mountains weighing heavy on their trail
they were sitting round the fire when i snuck around behind them
just a cunning loner, but how were they to tell

[verse 6]
i split them in the night, they turned their backs on one another
one took off with the gold and i pursued him from behind
his horse went lame at canyon rim and i took back what he owed me
didn’t take a gun to k!ll him, as i turned away to ride

[chorus]
fool me once, shame on you
fool me twice if you want to
i’ll get you in the end, i am a shadow of this land
folks call me the man from bitter sands
