Cantina, Cantina

Sanoitukset

[Verse 1] Cantina, cantina, pull up a chair Someone left a horseshoe hanging by the stair Three old cards and a copper tin A crooked little wager that nobody wins [Pre-Chorus] The lantern leans, the floorboards complain A laugh rolls through like a midnight train [Chorus] Cantina, cantina, raise up the sound The common fence bears are roaming around Cantina, cantina, dusty and bright We’ll trade our tall tales till the rooster takes flight [Verse 2] Marta keeps the ledger tucked beneath her sleeve She knows who borrowed sugar and who forgot to leave By the back door, boots make a line Each pair has a story and none of them rhyme [Pre-Chorus] The lantern leans, the floorboards complain A laugh rolls through like a midnight train [Chorus] Cantina, cantina, raise up the sound The common fence bears are roaming around Cantina, cantina, dusty and bright We’ll trade our tall tales till the rooster takes flight [Bridge] If the fence falls down, we’ll mend it at dawn With a pocket of nails and a borrowed song Tonight every stranger gets welcomed inside There’s room at the table and nowhere to hide [Final Chorus] Cantina, cantina, raise up the sound The common fence bears are roaming around Cantina, cantina, dusty and bright We’ll trade our tall tales till the rooster takes flight [Outro] Cantina, cantina, lamps burning low Save us a seat when the cold winds blow
