[00:00.00]Fool's Paradise - Tex Ritter
[00:07.76]As I write this letter to you darlin'
[00:15.06]I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes
[00:21.93]For at sundown I will lay a-dyin'
[00:29.17]At the door of the Fool's Paradise
[00:36.59]Rode into this cattle town this mornin'
[00:43.51]Left my burro to check the market price
[00:50.54]And I walked into the nearest barroom
[00:58.36]They call it the Fool's Paradise
[01:05.25]There the crowd was gay
[01:08.67]And girls were dancin'
[01:12.53]And the men were playin' cards and dice
[01:19.57]So I stepped up to the bar the join them
[01:27.30]What a grand place this Fool's Paradise
[01:34.29]It was then I showed to them your picture
[01:41.79]I passed it around once or twice
[01:48.48]Then a man insulted your honour
[01:55.55]At the bar of the Fool's Paradise
[02:06.37]So I slapped his face and I sad your I says
[02:10.16]Eat them words Mister my advice
[02:14.42]And he said the fool's my get hurt inside
[02:19.09]But I'll be glad to meet you
[02:20.03]In the street at sundown
[02:25.00]At sundown in front of the Fool's Paradise
[02:31.67]So goodbye my darlin' may God bless you
[02:39.57]I go to make this sacrifice
[02:46.46]And if ever you visit old Dodge
[02:54.18]Remember and the Fool's Paradise
