Ringling, Ringling Lyrics

By: Jimmy Buffett
Intro: D D/C D/B D/A E7 A7 D
Chorus:
Ringling, Ringling slippin' away
Only forty people livin' there today
Streets are dusty, and the bank has been torn down
It's a dyin' little town
Church window's broken, that place ain't been used in years
Jail don't have a sheriff or a cell
And electric trains, they run by maybe once or twice a month
Easin' it on down to Mussel Shell
(Repeat chorus)
Bridge:
And across from the bar there's a pile of beer cans
Been there twenty seven years
Imagine all the heartaches and tears in 27 years of beer
So we hopped back in the rent-a-car and we hit the cruise control
Pretty soon the town was out of sight
But we left behind a fat barmaid, a cowboy and a dog
Bracin' for a Ringling Friday night
Chorus:
Ringling, Ringling you're just slippin' away
I wonder how many people will be there a year from today
Cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down
It's a dyin' little town
G A7 D (intro chords)
Yeah, it's a dyin' little town
Enjoy!
