Ray and His Big Mouth
Ray finally clammed up on the night of the big storm when the lights went out.
Next day they found him down in the basement with his tongue cut out.
CHORUS
Gangster love, gangster love
The boss accepted Ray’s talkative nature but he drew the line at love
When Ray recited Shelley and Byron then he’d had enough.
CHORUS
He walked around like a one-eyed king
With a gun and diamond ring
Then he fell in love with a southern belle
She was born in Amarillo
Kept her dog on a satin pillow
If she loved Ray she hid it well
One day she left him, and all the note said was “Goodbye”
CHORUS
Ray finally clammed up on the night of the big storm when the lights went out
CHORUS
