I Wasn't Scared 1915

I've always been a sporty coon
all kinds of games I've played,
and luck has sort a favoured me,
big winnings I have made,
Last night I was invited
to sit in a poker game,
the way I took the money
from those coons it was a shame,
But when they found cards up my sleeve
they all said coon you'd better leave.

Now I wasn't scared
but I just thought
that I had better go
to hesitate meant loss of blood,
and I had none to spare you know.
I could have stayed and made a bluff
but coons are dyin' off fast enough
now I wasn't scared
but I just thought
that I had better go.

Now I wasn't scared
but I just thought
that I had better go
to hesitate meant loss of blood,
and I had none to spare you know.
I could have stayed and made a bluff
but coons are dyin' off fast enough
now I wasn't scared
but I just thought
that I had better go.

I went to see a circus once
that played in my home town,
the tent was filled
for people came
for miles and miles around.
The band was playing ragtime
when a man began to shout,
Run save your lives and don't delay
the lions have broken out,
I didn't wait to hear no more,
just then I heard the lion roar.

Now I wasn't scared
but I just thought
that I had better go
that Jonah stunt may be alright
but with a lion, no!
A lion can run real fast I've heard
but nothin' could caught me but a bird,
now I wasn't scared
but I just thought
that I had better go.

Now I wasn't scared
but I just thought
that I had better go
that Jonah stunt may be alright
but with a lion, no!
A lion can run real fast I've heard
but nothin' could caught me but a bird,
now I wasn't scared
but I just thought
that I had better go.
