Legend Of George Nelson Lyrics

Artist: Tishamingo
Album: Wear N' Tear

Well his Christian name is George but most call him Babyface
screaminâ‚¬â„¢ towards Innabena with Johnny Law puttinâ‚¬â„¢ on a chase
Picked up three drifters (just) wanderinâ‚¬â„¢ down a lonesome road
one of them pointed out to him (that) his foldinâ‚¬â„¢ moneyâ‚¬â„¢d come unstowed

George was in a line of work (that) required him to carry a gun
(the)drifters met up with him on the tail end of a three bank run
Bigger than any Johnny Law is all that George wanted to be
the title he yearned for was crimâ‚¬â„¢nal of the century

Well it looks like olâ‚¬â„¢ George is back on top again
hands bound behind him, heâ‚¬â„¢s beaming with pride
Lightninâ‚¬â„¢ will be shootinâ‚¬â„¢ through his fingertips
for that moment of glory, he was willing to die

Jesus saves, George withdraws, (and) the drifters seem to benefit from both
a live wire and a Tommy gun, makes for a quite an outlaw show
So hold your paws and drop your drawers, and donâ‚¬â„¢t you dare ring that warninâ‚¬â„¢ bell
(cause) folks my name is George Nelson â‚¬" and I was born to raise hell

With thrill-seeking folks like George, what goes up must come down
all it takes is another thrill to bring their battered souls around
Well a lynch mob caught up George and put him back on top again
they brought livestock, fire, and fiddle, they even brought a mandolin

Well it looks like olâ‚¬â„¢ George is back on top again
hands bound behind him, heâ‚¬â„¢s beaming with pride
Lightninâ‚¬â„¢ will be shootinâ‚¬â„¢ through his fingertips
for that moment of glory, he was willing to die

(When) Babyface was electrified, power moved in a weird sort of way
Georgeâ‚¬â„¢s prayer was answered when he took all the power from the state
You see control is merely relative, when perceived it certainly is a lie
and in the end it was George â‚¬Å“Babyfaceâ‚¬? Nelson who wound up bonafide
