Sam Bridges

[Verse 1]

Sam Bridges burned down to El Paso

Chasing the sound of speed

Long and lean in tight blue jeans

Singing "Baby, you've got what I need

But leave me be, leave me be"

[Verse 2]

A king with his crown of cigar smoke

And a golden Chevrolet

The boy could tell a dirty joke

Like a Catholic cabaret

But anyway, anyway

[Chorus]

I don't recall what I saw, Mr. Police Man

I couldn't say which way he might have gone

Last I knew, he was through with monkey business

Please excuse me and I'll kindly move along

[Verse 3]

Sun come up all black and blue

Sipping on bathtub gin

The holy ghost is tearing through

And he takes the moonlight with him

Just play it cool, play it cool

[Chorus]

I don't recall what I saw, Mr. Police Man

I couldn't say which way he might have gone

Last I knew, he was through with monkey business

Please excuse me and I'll kindly move along
