A Night In the Life of a Swamp Fox (Live at Royal Albert Hall, London, UK, 27/28 September 1971)
I step off off the aeroplane
And the hall cuts through my clothes
Like I was naked
I walked down to the bagage claim
And the situation there is what I expected
My bags were left in Memphis
And I am standing there wondering what to do?
When a cat walks up from the local news
And says: Can I get an interview?
No, no, no, no I said no, no, no, no
No, no, no
Another night in the life of a swamp fox
We get into a taxi cab and we're late
So we rush down to the Colosseum
Promotion man at the front door
And I can tell no matter what I say
That I just want to please him
He said that the tickets are selling to slow
And now it's starting to rain
When a cat walks up with a soulful look
And says: Can you spare some change?
No, no, no, no he said no, no, no, no
No baby
Another night in the life of a swamp fox
And now we walk out on the stage
And we get into a thing called Polk Salad Annie
...Ungr for some of you never been down south...
And it's looking like we got it made
Til it gets to the part where it says
...That the 'gators got your granny...
The people are feeling the music
And the groove is knocking me out
When a cat hollers out from the front row
And says: Can you play it wipe out?
No, no, no, no I said no, baby
No, no, no, no
Another night in the life of a swamp fox
No, I can't play that song
And the hall cuts through my clothes
Like I was naked
I walked down to the bagage claim
And the situation there is what I expected
My bags were left in Memphis
And I am standing there wondering what to do?
When a cat walks up from the local news
And says: Can I get an interview?
No, no, no, no I said no, no, no, no
No, no, no
Another night in the life of a swamp fox
We get into a taxi cab and we're late
So we rush down to the Colosseum
Promotion man at the front door
And I can tell no matter what I say
That I just want to please him
He said that the tickets are selling to slow
And now it's starting to rain
When a cat walks up with a soulful look
And says: Can you spare some change?
No, no, no, no he said no, no, no, no
No baby
Another night in the life of a swamp fox
And now we walk out on the stage
And we get into a thing called Polk Salad Annie
...Ungr for some of you never been down south...
And it's looking like we got it made
Til it gets to the part where it says
...That the 'gators got your granny...
The people are feeling the music
And the groove is knocking me out
When a cat hollers out from the front row
And says: Can you play it wipe out?
No, no, no, no I said no, baby
No, no, no, no
Another night in the life of a swamp fox
No, I can't play that song
