Primus - Fisticuffs Lyrics |
| Submitted by: AUTO-ADD |
| Current Rating: None | They found James Ambrose dead in his cell
A gaping gash in his arm had drained him
down to Hell
No one knew for sure if Ambrose was his
name
They called him Yankee Sullivan in early
days of fame
He'd known the game of fisticuffs had
always treated him right
But no one knew the men who came and
took his life that night
He'd spent some time in Botany Bay
atoning for his sins
He fought a bout with Hammer Lane and
took a tainted win
He was the hero of the Bowery, a prince of
lawless times
Then was battered by the "Butcherman" in
1849
He knew the game of fisticuffs, he knew
the game of might
But no one knew the men who came and
took his life one night
He knew the game of fisticuffs
Lilly and McCoy were shy of a hundred and
forty pounds
In 1842 they went a hundred and eighteen
rounds
They begged McCoy to cash it in, he said
that he would not
Got up and fought one more round then
died right on the spot
He knew the game of fisticuffs, he knew
the game of fight
But no one knew the game would come and
take his life that night. |
