Cold Tea

Intro: (3x)


The shoe-shine was cool

He d sussed out the scene

Scratch was nobody s fool

He d always come clean

If this was a frame-up

Who built the frame?

Was this the big pay-off

Or some crapulous game

I know you think I m going thru it

But babe don t weep I didn t do it

The light was dim, I never knew it s a sin

To drink ....cold tea




That pig he was rough

Trailed us right round the block

Enid stashed all her stuff

Behind the grandfather clock

If this was the show-down

Who wrote the show?

Was he the big con-man

Or some cadaverous crow

I know you think I m going thru it

But babe don t weep I didn t do it

The light was dim, I never knew it s a sin

To drink ....cold tea


Acoustic solo


I know you think I m going thru it

But babe don t weep I didn t do it

The light was dim, I never knew it s a sin

To drink ....cold tea

I never knew its a sin

You know the light was so dim

I never knew its a sin

You know the light was so dim
