Beer For My Horses   (GP-404)    Jerry Jestin




OPENER:
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
WELL A MAN COME ON THE 6 O'CLOCK NEWS
SAID SOMEBODY'S BEEN SHOT, SOMEBODY'S BEEN ABUSED
SOMEBODY BLEW UP A BUILDING SOMEBODY STOLE A CAR
SOMEBODY GOT AWAY SOMEBODY DIDN'T GET TOO FAR YEAH
CIRCLE LEFT
WE'LL RAISE UP OUR GLASSES AGAINST EVIL FORCES
LEFT ALLEMANDE AND PROMENADE
WHISKEY FOR MY MEN, BEER FOR MY HORSES

FIGURE:
HEADS (SIDES) SQUARE THRU GET ME FOUR NOW
MAKE A RIGHT HAND STAR HALF WAY
COUPLES VEER LEFT - CHAIN DOWN THE LINE TURN THAT GIRL
PASS THE OCEAN – SWING THRU AND GO
BOYS TRADE – SCOOT BACK
SWING YOUR CORNER AND PROMENADE
WHISKEY FOR MY MEN, BEER FOR MY HORSES

TAG:
SWING HER
WHISKEY FOR MY MEN, BEER FOR MY HORSES

ADDITIONAL LYRICS:

BREAK / CLOSER:
JUSTICE IS THE ONE THING YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FIND
YOU GOT TO SADDLE UP YOUR BOYS YOU GOT TO DRAW A HARD LINE
WHEN THE GUN SMOKE SETTLES WE'LL SING A VICTORY TUNE
WE'LL ALL MEET BACK AT THE LOCAL SALOON

FIGURES:
WE GOT TOO MANY GANGSTERS DOING DIRTY DEEDS
WE'VE GOT TOO MUCH CORRUPTION, TOO MUCH CRIME IN THE STREETS
IT'S TIME THE LONG ARM OF THE LAW PUT A FEW MORE IN THE GROUND
SEND 'EM ALL TO THEIR MAKER AND HE'LL SETTLE 'EM DOWN

Well a man come on the 6 o'clock news
Said somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn't get too far yeah
They didn't get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that

(Chorus)
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
We'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
We've got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down
You can bet he'll set 'em down 'cause

(Chorus x2)
