San Francisco Fan

Lyrics

[Verse 1] San Francisco Fan Loved a no good gambling man She drank the coffee dregs So she could fry his eggs In a golden frying pan [Verse 2] Can-canned by command Of the Gold Rush Café Clan She gave her man her pay He gambled it away Playing Chinatown fan-tan [Bridge] Once they caught him cheatin' And he knew that he was beaten When a miner aimed a pistol at his head Fanny when she'd seen him Ran and jumped right in between 'em And she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead There was Fanny dying While a hundred men stood crying And the angels up above were cryin' too When seven horses started draggin' Fanny's coffin in a wagon Through a dusty California Avenue [Verse 3] San Francisco Fan Gave her life to save her man A man who wasn't worth A shovelful of earth From the grave of San Francisco Fan [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1] San Francisco Fan Loved a no good gambling man She drank the coffee dregs So she could fry his eggs In a golden frying pan [Verse 3] San Francisco Fan Gave her life to save her man A man who wasn't worth A shovelful of earth From the grave of San Francisco Fan
