Lido missed the boat that day, he left the shackbut that was all he missed, and he ain’t comin’ back.At a tombstone bar in a juke joint car, he made a stopjust long enough to grab a handle off the top.
Next stop, Chi-town, Lido put the money down, let it roll.
He said, “One more job oughta get itOne last shot ‘fore we quit itOne for the road”
Lido, whoa.He’s for the money, he’s for the showLido’s a-waiting for the goLido, whoa.He said, “One more job oughta get itOne last shot ‘fore we quit itOne more for the road.”
Lido be runnin’, havin’ great big fun until he got the notesaying, “Toe the line or blow it, ” and that was all she wrote.He be makin’ like a beeline headin’ for the borderline, goin’ for broke.
Sayin’, “One more hit oughta do itThis joint ain’t nothin’ to it
One more for the road”
Lido, whoa.He’s for the money, he’s for the showLido’s a-waiting for the goLido, whoa.
“One more job oughta get itOne last shot, then we quit itOne more for the road”
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-ohHe’s for the money, he’s for the showLido’s a-waiting for the goLido, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh“One more job oughta get it”
