Old silver died last Saturday evenin' Or was it more like ten years ago She nailed two dozen roses to the top of his coffin And buried'em deep where they never would grow Lord she buried'em deep where they never would grow Now the Irish are funny, they'll cry when they have to And the lady she moaned such a mournful sound Me and the Mexican just finished the bottle And remembered the days when Old Silver was around Yeah remembered the days when Old Silver was around 'Cause Old Silver took the best of it with him The lovers and the dealers and the dreamers of dreams And Old Silver took the love of a lady Who never got over Old Silver and me Lord she never got over Old Silver and me Old Silver had the magic and he carried the money With the grace of a gambler and he lost it with ease And he knew his lines better than any good carny barker Wore the best damn boots that you ever have seen He had the best snake-skin boots that you ever have seen Now the lady she loved him and she never asked questions Though she laid awake wonderin' on many a night She swore she was leavin' most every mornin' But she always would kiss him when he turned out the lights She was always right there when he turned out the lights CHORUS Now there's always a sidekick in every B-western Who's always in love with a lady who leaves But she can't stand the memory so I really don't blame her For taking the very first Greyhound she'd seen But god I hate her for takin' the first Greyhound she'd seen CHORUS Old Silver died last Saturday evenin' Or was it more like ten years ago
