Johnny the fox meets jimmy the weed


Johnny the Fox he called to Jimmy the Weed
He said "Hey man, I know your name"
I seen you cruising with the low riders
Hanging out down on First street and Main

Tuned into and listen to the Hoodoo Rhythm Devils
Around the Bay
They've got some crazy DJs
Send you right out to heaven

Jimmy the Weed for greed was taken aback
Johnny the Fox you old sly cat
Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash
Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks

In the back of a black cadillac
The voodoo music travels
Down Skid Row only black men can go
The shady deal unravels

Johnny the Fox, hot to hustle
Jimmy the Weed won't use no muscle
that cat's so sly, slick and subtle
Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle

Tuned into and listening to
The voodoo music travels
The beating drum for the lonely one
Sends you out to heaven

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics JOHNNY THE FOX MEETS JIMMY THE WEED of THIN LIZZY is also present in the album Live and dangerous (1978)

Biografia

Thin Lizzy è un gruppo hard rock irlandese formatosi a Dublino nel 1969. I membri fondatori furono il chitarrista Eric Bell, l'organista Eric Wrixon, il cantante e bassista Philip Lynott e il batterista Brian Downey. Il gruppo ha raggiunto la fama internazionale negli anni '70 con un sound caratterizzato da riff di chitarra potente, melodie orecchiabili e testi spesso ispirati alla mitologia irlandese. Tra i brani più famosi ci sono "The Boys Are Back in Town", "Jailbreak" e "Whiskey in the Jar". Lynott è considerato una figura iconica del rock, noto per il suo carisma e la sua voce potente. Thin Lizzy ha pubblicato numerosi album di successo, tra cui "Fighting" (1974), "Nightlife" (1974) e "Bad Reputation" (1977). Il gruppo si è sciolto nel 1983 dopo la morte di Lynott, ma ha continuato ad avere un seguito fedele negli anni successivi.
