The Fire Down Below

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Here comes old Rosie she's looking mighty fine

Here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time

There go the street lights bringin on the night

Here come the men faces hidden from the light

All through the shadows they come and they go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine

Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green

Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop

One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop

When it all gets too heavy

That's when they come and go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

It happens out in Vegas happens in Moline

On the blue blood streets of Boston

Up in Berkeley and out in Queens

And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight

Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right

And he's looking out for Rosie and she's looking mighty fine

And he's walking the streets for Nancy

And he'll find her everytime

When the street light flicker bringing on the night

Well they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight

All through the midnight

Watch 'em come and watch 'em go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below
