History Lesson
Old McIlhenny's ruined now No sugar cane is left to plow A casualty of war This lone island left to die Can't bank again in New Orleans Must make ends meet by other means An idea from his friends And then soon this chapter ends It might sound cliche You can turn lemons into lemonade Adversity to Gold If you're not so quick to fold (quick to fold) Only peppers seem to grow On this war torn island soil Experiment with sauce Maybe now not all is lost By now you've heard of Tobasco In a few years the world will know You cannot keep him down This pepper sauce will turn his life around It might sound cliche But he turned lemons into lemonade Adversity to gold Cause he was not quick to fold (quick to fold) Like Edison, Lincoln or anyone great Who didn't bow down to apparent fate You too can set the record straight When you're struck down it's not to late It might sound cliche But you'll turn lemons into lemonade Adversity to gold If you're not so quick to fold Don't be so quick to fold Don't be so quick to fold (quick to fold) Copyright 2007 by Eric Steffensen Coming soon via live recording on a stereo near you
