The Ballad of So & So

So & So were singing someone else's song
Trading tunes around the room as if they were their own
Some poor kid from the bottom asked how do I get one too
Whatever you've got in your wallet or bank account will do
So step right this way for our baited debut

So & So claim to know everything you cannot
So & So will take you for everything you've got

So said every songs a flower and So said I've got the seed
A grandeur larcen to fill your garden around your family tree
So composed and hummed out loud So wrote note for note down
Folks lined up paid in blood the currency of clowns
So & So fleeced everyone in town
They get around

So & So claim to know everything you cannot
So & So will take you for everything you've got

By sunup the next morning the whole town had been sold
The courthouse now belonged to so the Baptist church to So
Anywhere the townsfolk looked So & So were gone
They'd hit the low road hook and crook robbing swift without a gun
Two in laws trolling outlaws on the run
Just having fun

So & So claim to know everything you cannot
So & So will take you for everything you've got

Lawmen say they got away neither So nor So were found
Last we heard were echoed words on that Union battleground
I snuck up the far side to meet them said ain't this some surprise
One request two balladeers three minutes of your time
The reflection of my knife was the last thing in their eyes

So & So claim to know everything you cannot
So & So will take you for everything you've got
So & So claim to know everything you cannot
So & So will take you for everything you've got
