High class Slim came floatin' in |
| [00:36.50] |
down from the county line. |
| [00:40.05] |
Just gettin' right on Saturday night, |
| [00:44.18] |
ridin' with some friends of mine. |
| [00:47.54] |
They invited me just to come and see |
| [00:52.03] |
just what was on their minds |
| [00:55.88] |
and then I took my first long look |
| [00:59.14] |
at the Master of Sparks on high. |
| [01:03.43] |
In the back of Jimmy's Mack |
| [01:07.05] |
stood a round steel cage |
| [01:11.11] |
welded into shape by Slim, |
| [01:14.94] |
made out of sucker gauge. |
| [01:18.81] |
How fine, they cried, now with you inside, |
| [01:22.42] |
strapped in there safe and sound. |
| [01:25.81] |
I thought, my-o-my, how the sparks will fly |
| [01:29.87] |
if that thing ever hit the ground. |
| [01:33.75] |
Slim was so pleased when I had eased |
| [01:38.02] |
into his trap of death. |
| [01:41.35] |
He had slammed the door but I said no more |
| [01:45.52] |
and I thought I'd breathed my last breath. |
| [01:49.48] |
We was out in the sticks down Highway Six |
| [01:52.69] |
and the crowd was just about right. |
| [01:56.63] |
The speed was too, so out I flew |
| [02:00.06] |
like a stick of rollin' dynamite. |
| [02:51.60] |
When I hit the ground you could hear the sound |
| [02:55.50] |
and see the sparks a country mile. |
| [02:59.16] |
End over end I began to spin |
| [03:02.98] |
but the ball started runnin' wild. |
| [03:06.66] |
But it was too late as I met my fate |
| [03:10.17] |
and the ball started gettin' hot. |
| [03:13.88] |
But through the sparks and the flame I knew that the claim |
| [03:17.85] |
of the Master of Sparks was gone. |
