Song for Sonny Liston Mark Knopfler

[Verse 1]
So many mouths to feed on a farm
And Sonny was the second to the last one born
His mama ran away and his daddy beat him bad
And he grew up wild, good love he never had

[Chorus]
He had a left like Henry's hammer
A right like Betty Bamalam
Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread
And all them sluggers went down like lead

[Verse 2]
Well, he hung with the hoods, he wouldn't stroke the fans
But he had dynamite in both his hands
Boom bam like the slammer door
The bell and the can and the bodies on the floor

[Chorus]
Beware
The Bear's in town
Somebody's money says The Bear's going down
Yeah, The Bear never smiles
Sonny's going down for miles and miles
Sonny's going down for miles and miles
Yeah
