_ _ _ _ There's a big fat man with frog eyes who's standing at the door.
And a little bald [Bb] man with wing nut ears was waiting in the car.
Well Robin Moore passed [Db] the frog [Bb] eyed man as he walked into the bar.
And Betty [C] Coltrane she jumped under the table.
_ What's your pay?
Asked the barman.
He had a face like boiled meat.
[Bb] There's a girl called Betty Coltrane.
That I have come to see.
[Ab] But I ain't [Bb] seen that girl [F] around here for [Bb] more than a week.
And Betty [C] Coltrane she hid beneath the table.
[Bb] Well [C] then a inky came a sailor with a mermaid tattooed on his arms.
[Bb] Followed by the man with the [Eb] wing nut ears who was waiting in the [Bb] car.
[Ab] Well Robin [Bb] Moore sensed trouble [Fm] he'd seen it coming [Bb] from afar.
And Betty [C] Coltrane she gassed [E] beneath the table.
[Bb] Oh well [C] the sailor said I'm looking for my wife they call her Betty Coltrane.
[Bb] And the frog eyed man said that can't be that's my wife maiden name.
[Ab] And the man with the [Bb] wing nut ears said [C] hey I married her [Bb] back in Spain.
And [Cm] Betty Coltrane crossed herself beneath the table.
_ [Bb]
[Cm] Well Ragnar [Gm] [F] Steptoe said that woman [Eb] is my wife.
And he drew a silver pistol and a wicked bowing knife.
[Ab] And he shot [Bb] the man with a wing nut ear [Fm] straight [Bb] between the eyes.
And Betty [Ebm] Coltrane she bowed [E] under the table.
[C] _
Oh well the frog eyed man jumped at Robin Moore who stabbed him in the chest.
He [Bb] thanked Mr.
[E] Frog Eye's side he said Betty you're the [Bb] girl that I love best.
Well [Ab] the [Gm] sailor pulled a razor [Fm] Robin [Bb] blasted and commenced.
And Betty [C] I know you're under the table.
Yeah I had my fears at Robin Moore I do not want to hurt you.
[Gm] I never a woman did I love me half as much as you.
[Ab] You're the [Bb] bestest woman me girl I knew.
And the sacred moon admitted [Cm] he [C] got his legs out from under the table. _
Well Robin Moore went down heavy with a crash upon the floor.
[E] And over to the crashing body Betty Coltrane she did [Bb] crawl.
[Ab] She grabbed the [Bb] gun to the back of his [Fm] head and pulled the trigger [Bb] once more.
[C] She screamed out all over the table. _
Well Betty I'm sure you don't want to smoke away.
She [Gm] said I'm sorry Mr.
Barman to leave your place this way.
[Ab] She held me down [Bb] there while I said [Fm] I'd place my [Bb] business card.
[C] And she went and threw a dollar on the table. _ _
