about

How Soapy became an outlaw and conman was decided around 1870. This tells us how.

lyrics

He came from the Southern lands,
Back when times were hard.
Just after the war when I think he knew,
He had to choose his road, which way to go,
to use his hands or use his wits.

When he saw that man go down,
Then I think he knew,
What he had been put on earth to do.
He was going to make his mark,
Find his fame,
Everyone would say his name.

So Jeff disappeared,
Became Soapy Smith
Sleight of hand,
Made the man a myth.

It was just a matter of time,
Every day a step at a time,
When the dream starts to come true.
Every page, every line,
Every day, going fine,
Lady Luck will come through.
