cab calloway - san francisco can lyrics
san francisco fan
loved a no-good gamblin’ man;
she drank the coffee dregs so she could fry his eggs
in a golden fryin’ pan
can-canned 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
f-nny, when she seen ’em
ran and jumped right inbetween ’em
and she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead
there was f-nny dyin’
while a hundred men were cryin’
and the angels up above were cryin’, too;
when seven horses started draggin’
f-nny’s coffin in a wagon
down a dusty california 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
gave her life to save a man
a man who wasn’t worth a shovelful of earth
from the grave of san francisco fan
