True Story Songtext
von Bobby Bare

This mornin′ I jumped on my horse and went out for a ride
Some wild outlaws chased me and they shot me in the side
So I crawled into a wild cat's cave to find a place to hide
But some pirates found me a sleepin′ there and soon they had me tied
'Til a lady zombie cut me loose and begged to be my bride
So I said I'd come back Wednesday but I must admit I lied


′Cause I run away into the swamp but I forgot my guide
And I stepped into some quicksand and no matter how I tried
I couldn′t get out until I met a crocodile named Clyde
Who took me to some cannibals who planned to have me fried

They built a fire under me and I swear I almost cried
'Til an eagle come and swooped me up and through the air we flied
But he dropped me in a boilin′ lake a thousand miles wide
And you know what happened then?
(What happened?)
I died
