Stuart Hamblen - Pokolodie Bill Left His Soul Behind lyrics
Pokolodie Bill was a Texas man, who roamed the northern pole in cowboy boots and stetson hat he searched for the yellow gold Alaska knew no wilder man, while the land was young and raw, Then Pokolodie Bill and his wolvery team a mushin' up the draw, He'd cuss the snow then cuss his luck then cuss the northern lights in a barroom brawl he was feared by all for Oh, how he could fight A preacher once explained to us why Bill was a different kind When he came here to the last frontier left his soul behind he left his soul behind, he left his soul behind he came here to the last frontier he left his soul behind Pokolodie Bill had an awful thirst, but once he got his fill, Joints and halls would empty fast for fear of gettin' killed with ham like fists he'd beat his chest with a yell that'd curl your hair He'd make sawdust and kindlin' wood of the bar and all the chairs Til he'd tire out we'd scurry about from one place to the next When he'd leave town we'd gather around to repair what Bill had wrecked With mutterin' breath, we wish his death and pray for Father Time, to rid us of that batterin' ram who left his soul behind he left his soul behind, he left his soul behind He came here to the last frontier, he left his soul behind Pokolodie Bill was a leavin' town his wild team on the lope and he drove them hard with his only whip a long yellow rope he rode his sleigh like a drunkin' king sprawled in a rockin' chair when all at once in the trail he saw the devil standin' there His black coat shone with an eerie glow, his eyes were fiery bright, with a fiendish laugh he roared at Bill "I've come for you tonight!" With a shaky hand, Bill coiled his rope, "I reckon', I'll take my time. I ride alone. My soul is gone. I've left it far behind." He left his soul behind, he left his soul behind, He came here to the last frontier, he left his soul behind. Pokolodie Bill, a texas man was deadly with a rope and the devil howled as he felt that loop go tight about his troat "I'll brand and de-horn you!, Bill yelled as knocked ole Satan down, then he built a fire for his brandin' iron for headin' back to town. We heard Bill yellin' in the street, "Come see who I've brought in!" his torn and tattered clothes revealed his torn and tattered skin "The devil fought me for my soul, but I whupped him fair and square!", but what we saw tied to his sleigh was a branded grizzly bear. He left his soul behind, he left his soul behind, when he came here to the last frontier he left his soul behind |
