I have been with the best that the bastards could muster

From Danny the Dildo to Sidney the Snake

And I feel like a working girl pausing to wonder

Just how much screwin' the spirit can take



Chorus:

I said, ";Willie old buddy, please tell me again

The reason to keep goin' on.";

He said, ";There's no harder words to say over a friend

Than they done you so righteously wrong

They stopped you from singing your song";



He was our hero, boys, he took the bullet

But he went down swingin' his fist from the floor

You can ask any working girl south of the border

Sam Peckinpah era un hombre for sure



Chorus:

Willie old buddy please tell me again

The reason to keep goin' on

He said, ";There's no harder words to say over a friend

Than they done you so righteously wrong

They stopped you from singin' your song.";



But not me.
