Horn Arrangements by Greg Cohen



Hang on st. christopher through the smoke

and the oil

Buckle down the rumble seat

let the radiator boil

got an overhead downshift

and a two dollar grill

got an 85 cabin

on an 85 hill

Hang on st. christopher on the passenger side

open it up tonight the devil can ride

hang on st. christopher with a barrel house dog

kick me up mt. baldy

throw me out in the fog

tear a hole in the jack pot

drive a stake through his heart

do a 100 on the grapevine

do a jump on the start

hang on st. christopher now don't let me go

get me to reno and bring it in low, yeah

hang on st. christopher with the hammer to the floor

put a hi ball in the crank case

nail a crow to the door

get a bottle for the jockey

gimme a 294

there's a 750 norton bustin down january's door

hang on st. christopher on the passenger side

open it up tonight the devil can ride

hang on st. christopher now don't let me go

get to me reno got to bring it in low

put my baby on the flat car

got to burn down the caboose

get 'em all jacked up on whiskey

then we'll turn the mad dog loose

hang on st. christopher on the passenger side

open it up tonight the devil can ride
