San Francisco Fan Lyrics - Joe Jackson

San francisco fan 

Loved a no-good gamblin' man 

She drank the coffee dregs 

So she could fry his eggs in a golden frying pan 

Can-can-ed by command of the gold rush cafe clan 

She gave her man her pay 

He gambled it away 

Playing chinatown fan-tan 

Once they caught him cheatin' 

And he knew that he was beaten 

When a miner aimed a pistol at his head 

Fanny when she'd seen him ran and jumped right in between 'em 

And she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead 

There was fanny dyin' 

While a hundred men stood cryin' 

And the angels up above were cryin' too 

When seven horses started draggin' 

Fanny's coffin in a wagon 

Through a dusty californian avenue 

San francisco fan 

Gave her life to save her man 

A man who wasn't worth 

A shovelful of earth 

From the grave of san francisco fan 

San francisco fan 

Loved a no-good gamblin' man 

She drank the coffee dregs 

So she could fry his eggs 

In a golden frying pan 

San francisco fan 

Gave her life to save her man 

A man who wasn't worth 

A shovelful of earth 

From the grave of san francisco fan
