Old Charlie went out To the gambling hall And he started to play On the roulette wheel With a quarter on the red And his head in his hands As he watched and he waited Till the ball came to rest Old Charlie never moved He just let his money ride And the red won again Then again and again It won sixteen times Before they found out he'd been dead For the whole time! What a wonder! He was dead but Still a winner! Imagine the shock and the stunning loss of pride For the house had been losing To a man who had died And there's gotta come a time when we've all gotta go You start out always fast But the end is always slow... And the moral is...? And the moral is...? And the moral is...? And the moral is...? When Miss Annie found out She put her gun to her head It was loaded Sixteen bullets! She was all dressed in black She had her necklace on When she fired Sixteen bullets! Her sons put her in a coffin And they put it in a hearse It was drawn by Sixteen horses! Then they all got on a barge And they drifted out to sea To see a fallen angel Whose fall was over A fallen angel With a mustache... And there's gotta come a time when we've all gotta go You start out always fast But the end is always slow And there's gotta come a time when we've all gotta go You start out always fast But the end is always slow... And the moral is...? And the moral is...? And the moral is...? And the moral is...? It was their time to go so they went. > > She lived in these parts > She was a big old girl > Miss Annie > What a wonder! > > Three hundred pounds > And six foot eight > In her bare feet > Annie Christmas! > > She could drink and she could fight > She had a curly black mustache > She was famous on the river > She was madly in love > With a wild gambling man > That was Charlie, how she loved him! > > But old Charlie > He never even noticed her at all > Until a one day > What a one day! > When she wore a very special necklace > Cause it proved that she was tough and reckless > With a bead for every ear and nose > She had bitten off as the story goes! > When she fought every man who ever did her wrong > And the necklace was already thirty feet long...! > And the upshot was... > And the upshot was... > > Old Charlie was impressed > And the next thing you know > They were married > What a wedding! > > And the next year she gave him > A dozen sons at once > They were giants! > What a wonder > > And before they were six > They were seven foot four > In their bare feet > They were giants > And they carried Miss Annie > On their shoulders like a prize > She was beaming like an angel > Like an angel with a mustache! > > And she always wore a very special necklace > Cause it proved that she was tough and reckless > With a bead for every ear and nose > She had bitten off as the story goes! > > And she always wore a very special necklace > Cause it proved that she was tough and reckless > With a bead for every ear and nose > She had bitten off as the story goes! > And the moral is...? > And the moral is...? > And the moral is...? > And the moral is.....? > > I DON'T KNOW...!!!! > > > > Could Annie /Charlie Christmas be the best and most > > important song in the show??
