Jonny Rife Pulled a Knife

[Chorus]
Johnny Rife pulled a knife
Upon the keeper of the inn
Said "I'll count to five,"
"Until then put the money in the bin"
Johnny Rife pulled a knife
And still the owner lass refused
Said "I'd rather die"
"Than let a coward tell me what to do"

[Verse 1]
One, two, three, four
Don't make me count any more
I will make your life a living hell (make it a living hell)
Half, two three, four
The older lass was gettin' bored
"Say, son, the ain't goin' well" (no, this ain't goin' well)

[Pre-Chorus]
So if you wanna peel my skin, get in line
But all I see's a bitch behind the eyes

[Chorus]
Johnny Rife pulled a knife
Upon the keeper of the inn
Said "I'll count to five,"
"Until then put the money in the bin"
Johnny Rife pulled a knife
And still the owner lass refused
Said "I'd rather die"
"Than let a coward tell me what to do"

[Verse 1]
Damn, man, you got guts
Sure you wanna push your luck?
This will not end well for you I'm sure (well for you, I'm sure)
Look lad, I won't lie
I can't stop you if I try
But I've heard this a hundred times before (a hundred times before)

[Pre-Chorus]
So if you wanna peel my skin, get in line
But all I see's a bitch behind the eyes

[Chorus]
Johnny Rife pulled a knife
Upon the keeper of the inn
Said "I'll count to five,"
"Until then put the money in the bin"

Johnny Rife pulled a knife
And still the owner lass refused
Said "I'd rather die"
"Than let a coward tell me what to do"

[Bridge]
Johnny Rife never met a lass so tough
Frozen in the face he saw that she had called her bluff
Johnny Rife looked her dead in the eye
Dropped his blade right to the floor and fled into the night

[Chorus]
Johnny Rife pulled a knife
Upon the keeper of the inn
Said "I'll count to five,"
"Until then put the money in the bin"
Johnny Rife pulled a knife
Upon the keeper of the inn
Said "I'll count to five,"
"Until then put the money in the bin"

[Post-Chorus]
Johnny Rife pulled a knife
And still the owner lass refused
Said "I'd rather die"
"Than let a coward tell me what to do"

[Outro]
Tell me what to do, tell me what to do, tell me what to do
Tell me what to do, tell me what to do, tell me what to do
