Chris Connor, Maynard Ferguson - That's How It Went, All Right Lyrics

Once was a gal with traveling eyes
Fell out of love with a hundred guys
Once was a guy who swore he'd get her
Swore on the very day he met her

She was a gas she was a grrrr
But she had to be on the move
The more she strained
The more he tried
To hold her harder
and keep her tied

It wouldn't matter
Get out of sight
He watched her day
And he watcher her night

That's how It went all right all right

That's how It went all right all right
That's how It went all right all right

She didn't want to stick to the letter
She had eyes for anything better
Any old place where the grass was greener
Any old place where the air was cleaner
She got bored and he got meaner
What a sight you should of seen here

There came a guy across the street
Head of a gang with a different feet
Then came a day when he looked over
Boy on a minute something beamed over
She had to go she had to get
But her lover said no not yet

She tried to run
She saw the knife
He lost his head and she lost her life
He bought her down like a paper night
He watched her dress turn red from white
And that's how It went

Well all right, ok, that's how it goes
That's how It went all right
