Bad Blood - Bonzo Dog Band

Not long ago in a one-horse town

Down south of Santa Fe

A one-eyed half-breed amputee

Sat thinkin' of the way

He’d settle the score with that runnin' sore

Who had left him the way he is

One-armed, half-blind and crippled in his mind

And he, that amputee, could not forgive

He swore to kill the stranger

For this one bad thing he’d done

For three long years he’d practised

Until he could use the gun

Heart of stone, he lived alone

And he lived on beans and eggs

Folks could tell what time it was

By the gravy running down his legs

Bad blood will drive you crazy

Bad blood, I’ve heard men say

Bad blood is like an egg stain on your chin

You can lick it but it still won’t go away

Four more years he roamed the land

'Til his legs was worn away

Then he bummed around from town to town

«Has a stranger passed this way?

The man I’m lookin' for has two eyes

But he’s a one-breed dirty dog

When I find him I’m gonna shoot him!

Don’t you laugh at me!

Man, I’m really pissed.»

The stagecoach jingle-jangled into town

One hot mid-afternoon

He saw the stranger get off near

The Seborrhea Saloon

And just as he was easin' in

A lumberjack rolled out

And shot him dead then One-eye said:

«Hey you, mutton-head, I’ve been lookin' for that particular son-of-a-bitch for

nearly seven years, man!

You’ve just spoiled everything!

I could have been a

doctor or an architect!»

Bad blood will drive you crazy

Bad blood, I’ve heard men say

Bad blood is like an egg stain on your chin

You can lick it but it still won’t go away
