It was Tiger Wells vs. Kid McCoy in the summer of 93
Now the kid was everybody's pride and joy, just as game as a kid could be
His little darling Bess was in the second row, she was friends with all her might
Saying, kid, we need that little bungalow, oh, you just gotta win tonight
Come on, kid, come on, kid, hit him with a left and a right
Go on, kid, go on, kid, but I would say to Noah, it was the kid's last fight
Now the kid had fever to the very bone, but nobody would ever guess
He was in their fight
He was fighting on his heart alone, cause he just had to win for Bess
The kid was battered, the kid was floored, but the count never got to ten
Oh, his brain was reeling when the people roared, he was up on his feet again
Come on, kid, come on, kid, hit him with a left and a right
Go on, kid, go on, kid, but I would say to Noah, it was the kid's last fight
Said the tiger grinning, don't you know you're through?
I can whip you like a child
I'm gonna take this fight
And take your woman, too
When he heard that, the kid went wild
Said,�도, Kid, for that, I'll tear your limb from limb
And he sprang like an angry coal
Sent a punch of fire
To the tiger's chest
Knocked him out like a thunderbolt
Come on, kid, come on, kid
Hit him with the left and the right
Go on, kid, go on, kid
But I was glad to know it was the kid's last fight
To the crowd that saw it, there was little doubt
That the kid was a champ that night
But the champ would never have another bout
It was the fever that won the fight
Gather round, I bet, even money folks
There's a bell sounding way up high
And the champ is climbing through the golden ropes
Of the big ring up in the sky
Come on, kid, come on, kid
Hit him with the left and the right
Go on, kid, go on, kid
But I was glad to know it was the kid's last fight
But how would they know it was the kid's last fight?
Nobody knew it was the kid's last fight
