Old Silver had the magic and he carried the money
Em D C G
With the grace of a gambler and he lost it with ease
G C G
He knew his lines better, than a good carny barker
Em D C G
Worse the best damn boots that you ever have seen
Em D C G
He had the best snake-skin boots that you ever have seen
G C G
Now the lady she loved him and she never asked que stions
Em D C G
Though she laid awake wonderin' on many a night
G C G
She swore she was leaving most every morning
Em D C G
But she always would kiss him when he turned out the light
Em D C G
She was always right there when he turned out the light

Now there's always a sidekick to every B- western
Em D C G
Who's always in love with the lady who leaves
G C G
But she can't stand the memory so I really don't blame her
Em D C G
For taking the very first Greyhound she'd seen
Em D C G
God I hate her for takin' the first Greyhound she'd seen
