Текст песни Western Man - Mose Allison

Western Man

Western Man had a plan,
And with his gun in his hand,
Free from doubt, went right out on the world.
Western Man, with his cross
Meant to prove who was boss.
In his pride, he’ll decide for the world.
Well, at first he sailed right through.
Seems there’s nothin' that he couldn’t do.
Went right out and laid 'em low.
Seems there’s nothin' that he didn’t know.
Came up with pockets, sprockets, rockets, and jets.
Two hundred million color TV sets.
But when the added up the cost
Seems he’d played his ace and lost.
Western Man hung his head
Could be better all day.
