None of them
Jerry Riopelle
Red Ball Texas Flyer
As heard from the 2005 CD Anthology set The Works: 1970-2000
Lyrics are not completely accurate because of partial
unintelligibility in the vocals.
In those spots, approximations were put in their place.
E
Well I'm drivin' to New Orleans on a half a tank of gas
B
Got a Jesus on the dashboard got a third wife on my ass
E A
They don't think I'm gonna make it, but I swear I think I can
E B E
In that Red Ball Texas Flyer I'm a Red Ball Texas Man
E
Well I left fifteen this mornin' just about the break of day
B
Sixteen minutes and a bowl of chili, I'm bound to find my way
E A
If I got to actin' gorgeous then they'll know just who I am
E B E
In that Red Ball Texas Flyer I'm a Red Ball Texas Man
Fiddle Solo:
A E F#m B (Repeat) E
E
Well in bunky Louisiana there's a redhead made the stand
B
With a pistol full of nickels and a razor in her hand
E A
She said "I'm gonna cut you boy from appetite to thirst"
E B E
I said "Hold on pretty pinto, better cut the mustard first"
E
Well I rode her in the parkin' lot I rode her in the green
B
I rode her till the sheriff came and then it got obscene
E A
Oh we jumped the bail to midnight she said "Honey you like a grand"
E B E
In that Red Ball Texas Flyer I'm a Red Ball Texas Man
Fiddle Solo:
A E F#m B (Repeat) E
E
Oh we got down to New Orleans down beside the Hotel Reef
B
Were we found out we were different than we ever thought we'd be
E A
At the court of the Seven Sisters I was prowlin' the settin' sun
E B E
Opened up the Red Ball Flyer and moved in with everyone
Fiddle Solo:
A E F#m B (Repeat 3X)
