lyrics

Charles Johnson in a flour stained apron
Rolled down into Knoxville
Ten barrels in crooked letters
On the pages of a paper from the Sentinel
The table is wet with butter
And a local boy rolls the cheese
Goes off with a lick and a promise
When a blond Angelica screams, “Here comes the bulls!”

Butter up them biscuits, boys
Bring the sheriff down
Put some gravy on my flaky rolls
I’m eatin’ anyhow
And I’ll look that sheriff in the eye
He can lock me up right now
But I’ll ride his horse down gay street
Waving as I leave this town

Kid Curry fixin’ bootleg biscuits
Peddlin’ purple jam
Down on central avenue at Patrick Sullivans
Burnt bacon and the crowd gets rowdy
Time to turn the heat down low
Made out like a shot of lightning crash through the saloon window
Here come the bulls!

Butter up them biscuits, boys
Bring the sheriff down
Put some gravy on my flaky rolls
I’m eatin’ anyhow
And I’ll look that sheriff in the eye
He can lock me up right now
But I’ll ride his horse down gay street
Waving as I leave this town

Well Knoxville ain’t your kind of town
If it’s violence you been craving
Old Patrick’s ain’t no bucket of blood
It’s a bucket full of gravy
