歌曲:Master Of Sparks
High class Slim
came floatin' in
Down from the
county line.
Just gettin' right on
Saturday night,
Ridin' With Some
Friends Of Mine.
They invited me just
to come and see
Just what was on their minds
And then I took my
first long look
At the Master of
Sparks on high.
In the back of Jimmy's Mack
Stood a round steel cage
Welded into shape by Slim,
Made out of sucker gauge.
How fine, they cried,
now with you inside,
Strapped in there
safe and sound.
I thought, my-o-my,
how the sparks will fly
If that thing ever
hit the ground.
Slim was so pleased
when I had eased
Into his trap of death.
He had slammed the door
but I said no more
And I thought I'd
breathed my last breath.
We was out in the sticks
down Highway Six
And the crowd was
just about right.
The speed was too,
so out I flew
Like a stick of
rollin' dynamite.
When I hit the ground you
could hear the sound
And see the sparks
a country mile.
End over end I
began to spin
But the ball started
runnin' wild.
But it was too late as
I met my fate
And the ball started
gettin' hot.
But through the sparks and
the flame I knew
that the claim
Of the Master of
Sparks was gone.
