Lyrics
Aces of red and eights of black
Is a pretty strong hand
5 card stud should win out
Unless you get shot in the back
CHORUS
I was born in South Dakota
Don’t say I didnt warn ya
There’s a certain way we do things around here
As the cold blows thru your bones
A man knows he’s alone
When he understands the wind can smell your fear
I was born in South Dakota
Don’t say I didnt warn ya
I was born in South Dakota
I was born in South Dakota
Jane lived for the bottle
California and Bille were 3 things that haunted her soul
Madly in love with a boastful fool
Working a wild west show
Once Bill was dead She sought her revenge
But Calamity forgot her gun
To this day they lay side by side
Bill’s heart Jane still hasn’t won
REPEAT CHORUS
