Fools Pa radise

in the style of

H

As I write this letter

to you, darling
I can't hold the teardrops
from my eyes

For at sundown,
I will lay a' dyin'

At the door of
the Fools Paradise

Rode into this cattle town
this morning

Left my bearer
to check the market price

And I walked into
the nearest barroom

They call it
the Fools Paradise

There, the crowd was gay,
and girls were dancing

and the men were playing
cards and dice

So I stepped up to
the bar to join them

What a grand place,
this Fools Paradise

It was then, I showed
to them, your picture

I passed it around
once or twice

Then a man insulted
your sweet honor

At the bar of
the Fools Paradise

(Spoken)
So I slapped his face

and I told him,
I says, you eat them words,
mister, or draw

That's my advice
And he said Well, somebody
might get hurt inside,
but I'll be glad to meet you
in the street at sundown

At sundown, in front of

the Fools Paradise

(Sing)
80 goodbye, my darling,

may God bless you
I go to make the sacrifice

And if ever you visit
old Dodge City

remember
the Fools Paradise
