Down in New York city Here in the saloon Molly's serving liqor Mark is playing a tune One-Eyed Nick is scowling And he's looking for a fight His girl she looks unhappy 'cause he doesn't treat her right
Gather round now people Listen up to what I have to say If you don't treat people right You gotta to learn that you have got to pay
I met a bitter woman Her heart was full of hate I told her she'd find lovin' I said it's not too late She told me mind my business And to get out of this place Then she came toward me And she slapped me in the face
Gather round now people Listen up to what I have to say If you don't treat people right You gotta to learn that you have got to pay
Just south of Dakota I met a gamblin' man He dealt cards from the bottom And he used sleight of hand He didn't think I'd notice He didn't think I saw But when I pulled my six gun out He ran out of the door
Gather round now people Listen up to what I have to say If you don't treat people right You gotta to learn that you have got to pay
Ooh la la Ooh la la Ooh la la

I am not only a fan of your music but your album and single covers have me staring like they’re masterpieces in an art gallery. Stellar work, Ron!

A cool rockin' roller Cuz Ron! I like that intro with the tasty bass run to get the song going. Great rhythm guitars and vocals. Oh now the Ronbo signature blues harp just kicked in and score a goal! Oo La La I like it!

Used to play in many semi-pro bands in 70s, played bass for David Jackson (Van Der Graaf Generator) on some of his demo work. Have worked with Trevor Thornton - Drummer (Saxon, Asia), Ray Brookes - Multi instrumentalist and songwriter (Rory Gallagher Band), Kathy Short - Singer/songwriter (Kathy & the Short-List), Fred White - Drummer, Carol Sue - Singer/songwriter and guitarist, Ern and The TrueVulgarian - Singer/songwriters, Paul Rainbird (band mate from early bands) and Ricky Moore (Songwriter and guitarist). Played Windsor free festival on same billing as Hawkwind and met the late great lemmy. In the 80s played in "Shoot the Butler" who released an indie album, cut at Abbey Road. Back to gigging for a while, then the studio for a cassette release called "Final Curtain" by Flix. Wilderness for 10 years,. Now I am back writing and producing my own stuff. Cuts down on band disagreements :D
Thanks @farrell-jackson @slippy-t @eric-saitz and @jimsae for the kind words
