Early James All Down Hill
[Verse 1]
Well eeny-meeny-miny-mo
I done caught a tiger by the toe
He's my dancing partner
Don't you know?
Taught me how to do-si-do
[Verse 2]
We're high-low-to-and-fro'
Just get my foot inside the door
My toes getting mighty sore
Came all this way don't know what for
[Chorus]
Fighting this uphill battle
Like a beach bound buccaneer
They're dragging and unsettled
Least' one things clear
Fighting or falling
It's all down hill
From here
[Verse 3]
It's all malarkey
Some near the bar marquee
Seat my feet deep down in the concrete
Deep down in the thick of it
I hope I drown before I get sick of it
[Chorus]
Fighting this uphill battle
Like a beach bound buccaneer
They're dragging and unsettled
Least' one things clear
Fighting or falling
It's all down hill
From here
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Fighting this uphill battle
Like a beach bound buccaneer
They're dragging and unsettled
Least' one things clear
Fighting or falling
It's all down hill
From here
