Everything You Know Lyrics by Steep Canyon Rangers

Arm in Arm

2020

Cortes sailed on his boat so brave
It was too late to trade
His treasures for feathers
As he was sinking down under the waves

Where his cannons won’t fire
And his flags won’t wave no more
And those shipwrecked ghosts
Floating like driftwood
‘Til one bright morning
They come washing up on your shore

[Chorus]
Oh now don’t tell ‘em everything thing you know
Let the whole world wonder
When the time is right to give up the gold
Hold a little back for the folks back home

Checked out of my room
Walked down to the Rio Grande
Fortune teller on the sidewalk
Laughing at the way I talk
He drew a map upon my hand

Said what’s to be and what might have been
So I pulled up these chains
And set a course for the Spanish main
And I’ll be coming back someday
Baby, but I don’t know when

[Chorus]
Oh now don’t tell ‘em everything thing you know
Let the whole world wonder
When the time is right to give up the gold
Hold a little back for the folks back home

Empty handed ‘cept for a sidewalk rose
Hey mama, it ain’t easy
To keep that skillet good and greasy
A pot of coffee on the stove

[Chorus]
Now don’t tell ‘em everything thing you know
Let the whole world wonder
When the time is right to give up the gold
Hold a little back for the folks back home
(Hold a little back for the folks)

[Chorus]
Don’t tell ‘em everything thing you know
Let the whole world wonder
When the time is right to give up the gold
Hold a little back for the folks back home
