Dynamite Bill Lyrics by Peter Mulvey

Letters From A Flying Machine

0

[Instrumental]

She was just a stranger, a stranger, a stranger
She was just a stranger, too
She was just a stranger, a stranger, a stranger
She was just a stranger, too
She was just a stranger, a stranger, a stranger
She came into town, she was lookin' for a manger
She was just a stranger, she wasn't lookin' for you

And she was shinin' like the city, like the city, like the city
Like the light of a city by the sea
Shining like the city light and pretty like the light
Of a city by a shining sea
Shinin' like the city light and I was half lit up
Like a half-assed Christmas tree
Shinin' like the city light, she wasn't lookin' for me

Her name was January Medley, January Medley
She run off with Mohammed Ali
January Medley, Medley
She run off with the little Mo-Mohammed Ali
January Medley, not particularly deadly
She was shining like the light of a city by the sea
January medley, she run off with Mohammed Ali
She was lookin' for Dynamite Bil, Dynamite Bill
Standin' in the back of the room
Dynamite Bil, Dynamite Bill
Standin' in the back of the room
Funny, you never think you're gonna need no Dynamite Bill
Till someday somethin' happen and you find that you will
Need Dynamite Bil cause you gotta make somethin' go boom

[Instrumental]

And so now January Medley and Dynamite Bill
And the little boy Mohammed Ali
They're on off to Honolulu or maybe Ashtabula
Or maybe just as far as the eye can see
And with Dynamite Bill they might be livin' there still
At least that's what a little bird whispered to me
January Medley, Dynamite Bill, Mohammed Ali

She was just a stranger, a stranger, a stranger
And he was just a stranger, too
She was just a stranger, stranger, a stranger
She was just a stranger, too
She was just a stranger with an element of danger
She came into town, she was looking for a manger
She was just a stranger, she wasn't lookin'
She was just a stranger, she wasn't lookin' for
She was just a stranger, she wasn't lookin' for you
