Lyrics:
It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big
The old man who sold his apples
Isn't there any more
And the city square don't seem as big
As it did before
They tore down that old drug store
We
It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big
The bright moon was shinin', the hour was late
Shot down by Pat Garrett who once was his friend
The young outlaw's life is now come to an end
There's many
of a sudden, through my window I could see
Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me
[Chorus]
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
Give me a little old fashioned love the kind that lingers through the years
The kind that's made by God up above give me a little old fashioned love
We're that odd couple on our street neighbors stare and wonder
We're a man and wife in love with each other
Today a friend of mine came by said
his fate,
The bright moon was shining, the hour was late
Shot down by Pat Garrett, who once was his friend
The young outlaw's life had now come
you're wise
From where come such snow white leaves
With such strange marks upon these squares
Not even the wise owl could put them there
So strange these
It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big
It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big
Little old lady passing by
Catching everyone's eye
You have such a charming manner
Sweet and shy
Little old bonnet set in place
And a smile
on my knees
And I cried, "Oh, ouch, help Lord" and, "Mama Mia, please"
Well, he broke into a cantor down around ol' Times Square
And my cowboy boots
on the square
And even if the flesh falls off of my face
I know someone will be there to care
It always means so much
Even the softest touch
I see nothing
Little old lady passing by,
Catching everyone's eye,
You have such a charming manner,
Sweet and shy.
Little old bonnet set in place,
And a Smile
teach a square everything he's lackin'
Cause partna, I'm a playa with some uncut mackin'
I spit that shit that makes tricks go run and hide
Damn them
It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big
a partner of the wind and sun
And I won't ask a life that's soft or high
Let me be easy on the man that's down
Let me be square and generous with all
don't believe you know how to be on the square
Now go on and have your fun and if you must
But before I have another man that I cannot trust
I'd rather
Little old lady passing by
Catching everyone's eye
You have such a charming manner
Sweet and shy
Little old bonnet set in place
And a smile
Caught in the chaos in the market square
I don't know what, I don't know why, but something's wrong down there
Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in
How sad Venice can be
When you return alone
And find a memory
In a repaving stone
I woke among the bird
That fills in Marble Square
With a quote
It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square
They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there
On my left stood Big
a fond farewell
By the time I get to Memphis I'll be outta my shell
Cotton fields just as white as snow
Sweet magnolia blossoms grow
Big moon shinin'
