[00:13.11] (Ray Sawyer/Dennis Locorriere/Ron Haffkine)
[00:15.60] He stands tall in his handmade boots
[00:20.46] Pretty little girls all around
[00:22.02] Black was the shade of his nudie suit
[00:37.41] And when he sang there was not a sound
[00:46.71] From state line to Mobile he entertained the crowds
[00:56.52] Everybody there knew his name
[01:01.95] His climb had started but the road gets harder
[01:11.91] When you're closing in on fame
[01:28.92] Bright lights shine and the crowd goes wild
[01:33.75] "The show won't start 'til y'all calm down"
[01:41.55] One pretty little girl stands all alone
[01:53.52] And when she cried there was not a sound
[02:02.64] For just three days in New Orleans she never left his side
[02:11.10] That girl became a woman with her very first man
[02:19.38] But to her only lover she was just like all the others
[02:27.48] 'Til she stood there with that gun in her hand
[02:31.77] A shot rang out and the crowd goes wild
[02:40.68] A shot rang out and the crowd goes wild
[02:48.72] The crowd goes wild
[02:49.38] The crowd goes wild
[02:49.77] The crowd goes wild
[02:50.16] The crowd goes wild
