In the bridge, it’s not “iron brew” but rather “IRN BRU”, a carbonated beverage that some consider Scotland’s national drink. Maryhill is an area in Glasgow, and the song, like the movie Wild Rose, takes place in Glasgow.
[Verse 1]
He wore a Texas tuxedo, she wore Cadillac green
They went together like a match and gasoline
Big Davey Campbell from the abattoir
And Annie O'Malley works the Larson bar
Four thousand miles east of Tennessee
Paisley Road West is the place to be
[Chorus]
He was a king of the cowboys, stealing the night
She was the queen of Memphis, robbing the bank of life
Whoa, robbing the bank of life
[Verse 2]
Gun fight is ready, be quick on the draw
The pistols, they were polished to shoot up the floor
A getaway car is the last bus home
To burn down that highway to the sweet unknown
Sunday morning, 'nother week to kill
Still in Little Dixie, left to Maryhill
[Chorus]
He was a king of the cowboys, stealing the night
She was the queen of Memphis, robbing the bank of life
Whoa, robbing the bank of life
[Bridge]
Two shots of whiskey and an iron brew
Hands up, no one move
[Chorus]
King of the cowboys, stealing the night
Queen of Memphis, robbing the bank of life
King of the cowboys, stealing the night
Queen of Memphis, robbing the bank of life
Robbing the bank of life
