lyrics

“When Sinatra Played Juarez”
By Tom Russell

Uncle Tommy Gabriel, he played the blue piano
While Frank and Ava Gardener danced the wild Juarenzi tango
Those were truly golden years my Uncle Tommy said
But everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez

Chorus
I wish life was still like that my Uncle Tommy says
But everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez
Those were truly golden years, my Uncle Tommy says,
But everything’s gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez

You could get a cheap divorce, get your Pontiac tuck and rolled
You could take your dolly to the dog track in her cheap chinchilla stole.
The Fiesta Club, The Chinese Palace, The Old Kentucky Bar
The matadors and baseball heroes and great big movie stars.

Chorus

Uncle Tommy Gabriel he still plays Fats Domino
He speaks that border Spanglish well, He owns a carpet store
He lives out on his pecan farm, I don't cross the bridge he says
Cause everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez

Chorus
