Julie Gold’s Candy Cane Tale

Julie Gold came out from South Virginia
She sang in her band and was broke with her gun
Until she found a fine fine man
He bought her a drink, they drove far from the sun
Well he made her open a candy store in town
He made her swear she would never sing a sound
He made her promise she would never leave this town
"Sell your candy or I'll blow you down"
But Charlie Silver lived right around the corner
The first time he saw Julie
He wanted to D.I.E
'Cause he couldn't pay for no sugar
Well men in the city they like their candy
Business is good, twenty four/seven
Man after man, the next after the last
Gold is tired, she's starting to rust
I want to sing in my band again
But I'm too busy selling candy cane
I want to sing in my band again
But I'm too busy selling candy cane
So silver meets gold
And they sort of knew they had it coming
And pretty soon they starts loving and crying
The whole day long
Now they're singing the whole day long
And they don't know what's right from wrong
Now they're singing the whole day long
And they don't know what's right from wrong
Well men in the city they like their candy
But Julie is gone and the turkey is cold
The world gets round that the fine fine man
Can't control his gold
So they hung him up and high
Sing "we want another candy cane kisser"
Is their rally cry
I want to sing in my band again
I won't be selling candies for my man
I'm gonna sing in my band again
I won't be selling candies for my man
I'm gonna sing in my band again
I won't be selling candies for my man, no more
