Bilingual
High class Slim came floating in
Down from the county line
Just getting right on Saturday night
Riding with some friends of mine
They invited me to come and see
Just what was on their minds
And then I took my first long look
At the Master of Sparks on high
In the back of Jimmy's Mack
Stood a round steel cage
Welded into shape by Slim
Made out of sucker gauge
How fine, they cried now with you inside
Strapped in there, safe and sound
I thought, my, oh, my, how the sparks will fly
If that thing ever hit the ground
Slim was so pleased when I had eased
Into his trap of death
He had slammed the door, but I said no more
And I thought I'd breathed my last breath
We was out in the sticks down Highway 6
And the crowd was just about right
The speed was too, so out I flew
Like a stick of rolling dynamite
ย
When I hit the ground, you could hear the sound
And see the sparks a country mile, ow
End over end, I began to spin
But the ball started running wild
But it was too late as I met my fate
And the ball started getting hot
But through the sparks and the flame
I knew that the claim of the Master of Sparks was gone
