[00:17.890]I was in a bar called Paradise [00:20.960]When the fiddler from the band [00:23.780]Asked me "Why do you stand there crying?" [00:30.230]I answered him: "Musician, this may come as a surprise [00:36.230]I was trying to split the difference [00:39.150]And it split before my eyes [00:42.270]And my enemies have sweet voices [00:45.400]Their tones are soft and kind [00:48.380]When I hear my heart rejoices [00:51.900]I do not seem to mind" [00:57.090] [01:08.120]I was playing Brag in Bedlam [01:10.090]And the doctor would not deal [01:12.660]Asking me: "Why do you kneel down there bleeding?"
