Star Spandgled Bummer Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

Ring anvil for the deal we dealt us by mistake 

Our angel made of steel is big enough to break 

'Cause the rust is at his heel and I swear I seen him shaking 

But who'll be here to bring her body home 

The cabaret was crowded as her bed on payday night 

Sammy hit a soldier and the fools began to fight 

We scattered like the shadows in the early morning light 

But she remained to bring the body home 

For longer that it seemed he loved some honest man 

Who chased her wildest dream and rode her like the wind 

And they forged the bloody chains for some wounds too deep for mending 

But she was there to bring the body home 

The barker stood there smiling as he beckoned us inside 

To see the shining treasure that had grown too big to hide 

Look here he said he's harmless and we wished he was lyin' 

'Cause few remained to bring the body home

Ring anvil for the deal we dealt us by mistake 

Our angel made of steel is big enough to break 

'Cause the rust is at his heel and I swear I seen him shaking 

We'll be here to bring her body home
