From the recording The Jumping Flea
Lyrics
I Fear No Man
I Fear - no - Man
But a new born baby made me cry
I Fear - no - Man
But a sad song’ll put a tear in my eye
I Fear - no - Man
But I’d be shattered –
If you said goodbye
I’ve travelled all around the world
I’ve been from land to land
I canoed in a gator swamp
And I’ve walked in the desert sand
Worked up in Alaska
And I’ve swum in a jungle pool
I’ve never met a man
Who could take me for a fool
I Fear - no - Man
But a woman’s touch can melt my heart
I Fear - no - Man
But I crumble when the teardrops start
I Fear - no – Man
But I’d be shattered –
If we were to part
I walk dark alleyways
And I walk without a care
Take a drink in the kind of bars
Where the locals turn and stare
I’ve slept in the haunted house
And in the cemetery
I’ve never met a ghost
Who could turn a hair on me
I Fear - no - Man
But the first spring day can touch soul
I Fear - no - Man
But a child’s tears make me lose control
I Fear - no – Man
But I’d be shattered –
If you were to go
CHORUS 1
You can try to beat me up
And I won’t be afraid
You can try to take my life
With gun or with a blade
I don’t mind the dark
And I don’t mind being alone
I’d twist a lion’s tail
Steal a mad dog’s bone
CHORUS 2
I’ve travelled all around the world
I’ve been from land to land
I canoed in a gator swamp
And I’ve walked in the desert sand
I’ve worked up in Alaska
And I’ve swum in a jungle pool
I’ve never met a man
Who could take me for a fool
CHORUS 3
