| Well me and my son of only fourteen | |
| A finer young gentleman you’ve never seen | |
| We went out walking on | |
| Easter Eve | |
| Just to pass some time together | |
| Well he asked me some questions of things that | |
| I’d done But | |
| I kept it good natured, we were just having fun | |
| And we talked about everything under the sun | |
| And the Easter bells were chiming | |
| So we walked for a while into a café we went | |
| For we were hungry from the time we’d spent | |
| We carried no malice or any contempt | |
| And both our hearts were shining | |
| Well we weren’t there long before my kid said hey | |
| There’s a man over there and he’s looking our way | |
| Pay no attention | |
| I said to the lad | |
| Let’s just mind our own business this evening | |
| Well the man approached said what are you staring at | |
| And that if we didn’t stop gawking he’d take us out back | |
| And teach us some manners, it was simple as that | |
| Keep your eyes to yourselves, you bastards | |
| So I looked up and said why don’t you just sit down | |
| You’re walking here, sir, on very thin ground | |
| There’s nobody gawking or looking around | |
| And you’re alarming all of the patrons | |
| Well I guess that | |
| I shouldn’t have said that ‘ | |
| Cause he raised his voice said get ready to scrap | |
| And with that he gave my kid’s head a snap | |
| And said come and get what you’ve got coming | |
| Well my son stood up and hit him a lick | |
| And I tried to stop him but it happened so quick | |
| Then he smashed the man’s head down in the deck | |
| He was giving that fella a beating | |
| But the man reached down pulled out a small gun | |
| And he pointed it straight at the head of my son | |
| But with a longneck bottle the kid slashed at his jaw | |
| And the pistol fell down on the table | |
| Well thank | |
| God the cops came and broke up the brawl | |
| There was blood on the ceiling and blood on the wall | |
| I said to my son you know you don’t win ‘em all | |
| This has sure been one hell of an evening | |
| He said you know | |
| Dad I never even saw that gal | |
| But I wasn’t going to stand for him threatening us now | |
| And I hope you forgive me for being so wild | |
| Here on Easter | |
| Evening Well they arrested us all and took us to jail | |
| But ten minutes later we were all out on bail | |
| And the wife of the man came up to my son | |
| And said thank you young man for what you have done | |
| You know my husband is jealous and very cruel | |
| And whenever we’re out he always acts like a fool | |
| And I’m gonna quit him now that they got him locked up | |
| And I hope to hell that he will rot | |
| Well me and my son of only fourteen | |
| A finer young gentleman you’ve never seen | |
| We went out walking one | |
| Easter Eve | |
| And left with that man’s wife that evening |
| Well me and my son of only fourteen | |
| A finer young gentleman you' ve never seen | |
