Song for Sonny Liston - Mark Knopfler

Lyrics
words to study

So many mouths

To feed on the farm

Sonny was the second

To the last one born

His mamma ran away

And his daddy beat him bad

And he grew up wild

Good love he never had

He had a left

Like henry's hammer

A right like betty bamalam

Rode with the muggers

In the dark and dread

And all them sluggers

Went down like lead

Well he hung with the hoods

He wouldn't stroke the fans

But he had dynamite

In both his hands

Boom bam

Like the slammer door

The bell and the can

And the bodies on the floor

Beware the bear's in town

Somebody's money says

The bear's going down

Yeah, the bear never smiles

Sonny's going down

For miles and miles

Sonny's going down

For miles and miles

The writers didn't like him

The fight game jocks

With his lowlife backers

And his hands like rocks

They didn't want to have

A bogey man

They didn't like him

And he didn't like them

Black cadillac

Alligator boots

Money in the pockets

Of his sharkskin suits

Some say the bear
