Save the Bales-Bertie Higgins

Save The Bales We bought a crisp crap cruiser, one run was gonna set us up All we needed was a full moon shining and a little love That ain't no carnival steamer running close behind That's the US government And that's a PT-109 I said to hell with it, we meet you if you just save the bale All we got is loaded up and anything that's safe (anything that's safe) Let the captain go down with the ship, yeah, he can go to hell And take everything else we've got, just save the bale Save the best Here come a spotlight flashing and guns pointing everywhere Must have been a thousand pounds of ********* flying through the air We've been saving up for this trip since'75 They come to take our ass away But they ain't getting mine I said to hell with the women and children, just save the day Boys have got it loaded up, anything that sails (anything that sails) Let the captain go down with the ship, yeah he can go to hell Take everything else we've got to save the band Like they say it's funny how fun flies when you're doing time They must have spent a half a million dollars putting me in line I can tell your brother it's a hell of a price to pay And I left that judge with these final words As they led me away I said to hell with women and children, just save the bale Boy, we had it loaded up and anything but sail They let the captain go down with the ship and carried me to jail They took everything else I had and wouldn't set no bale I said to hell with the women and children just to save the bale Boy we had it loaded up and anything but sail (anything but sail) Let the captain go down with the ship yeah he can go to hell Check everything else we've got, just sink the bale I said to hell with the women and children, just sink the bale Boys have got it loaded up, and anything to say
