Tall Hope

Right now I'm ridin' the tall hope, The ship that I call hope Has me in the bow. Come tell me tomorrow To settle for small hope, I'm ridin' the tall hope Right now. Come tell me tomorrow, "Eliminate all hope," I'm ridin' the tall hope Right now. There's a stripper in a joint in New Orleans Just as faithful as a lady can be, 'Cause she told me she was spendin' her evenin's Gettin' supper ready for me. Enter thieir, cool as a breeze, Flingin' diamonds at her dimply knees. I can see my baby peelin' them peas Right now. Right now, right now. Come tell me tomorrow To settle for small hope, I'm ridin' the tall hope Right now. Come thunder, I don't shrink, Come lightning, I don't scare, Come mayhem, I don't think I care To wrinkle My brow. Right now I'm ridin' the tall hope, The ship that I call hope Has me in the bow. Come tell me tomorrow To settle for small hope, I'm ridin' the tall hope Right now. Come tell me tomorrow, "Eliminate all hope," I'm ridin' the tall hope Right now
