Dave Mason - 40,000 Headmen - 6.12.09

Dave Mason live at Casino Morongo. Enjoy!




-Lyrics by Jim Capaldi
Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind
If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind
I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me
I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea

Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I saw
Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot

Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine

Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn't come too late
But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
And when I asked him who he was he said, 'Just look behind'

So I turned around and forty thousand headmen bit the dirt
Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt
But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
And by the time they'd done that I was heading down the road

I remember playing most of Dave`s book as he really had the soul of the lead guitar player and we all grooved to the jam. It is so nice hearing him now...good music just can`t get lost.

Saw him in 70 something? In Miami.The Miami Jai Alai arena? Near The Miami river and 36st. Small, not stadium size place. So it was a good place to go and get close. Thanks for this.
