Fool's Paradise Lyrics - Jim Reeves

As I write this letter to you darlin' 

I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes 

For at sundown I will lay a-dyin' 

At the door of the Fool's Paradise 

Rode into this cattle town this mornin' 

Left my burro to check the market price 

And I walked into the nearest barroom 

They call it the Fool's Paradise 

There the crowd was gay and girls were dancin' 

And the men were playin' cards and dice 

So I stepped up to the bar to join them 

What a grand place this Fool's Paradise

It was then I showed to them your picture 

I passed it around once or twice 

Then a man insulted your sweet honour 

At the bar of the Fool's Paradise 

So I slapped his face and I told him, I says 

"You eat them words Mister, or draw, that's my advice" 

And he said, "Well, somebody might get hurt inside 

But I'll be glad to meet you in the street at sundown 

At sundown in front of the Fool's Paradise"
