Raleigh and Spencer

Posted by Larry Karnowski at August 22, 2003 10:10 AM

CHORUS:
Raleigh and Spencer was burning down
There ain't no liquor in this town
There ain't no liquor in this town

I'll pawn you my shoes for a little bottle of booze
I'll drink it down and lay right down and die
I'm gonna drink it and I'll lay right down and die

I'll eat more chicken than a pretty gal can fry
I'll tell you more doggone lies
I'll tell you more doggone lies

CHORUS

I'll eat more fat meat than you can cook in a week
I'll never get to heaven when I die
Ain't never gonna get to heaven when I die

I'll pawn you my watch, I’ll pawn you my chain
I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring

You can tramp down the flowers all around my grave side
They'll rise and bloom again
They're gonna rise and bloom again

CHORUS

source of the lyrics

If I could name my cats again, I think I'd name them Raleigh and Spencer. (And if I had a girl and a boy cat I'd name them Molly and Tenbrooks, but that's another song for another day....)

How's the move?

Admit it, you want to call them Rogers and Hammerstein.
