Never's Bend

Never's Bend

In a State I won't mention,
By train tracks I'll not name,
is a town in the business of
selling both sin and shame.

If you've never been to Never's Bend
You've never lived in sin.
If you have money, you've got a friend
Any place in Never's Bend.

The city, it was purpose built,
Corruption holds the reins.
Men are known to disappear
And women for other things.

To the West Side of the tracks
a bluff overlooks the river below,
where people are known to drown,
just accidents; they'll tell you so.

On the East Side are the Nightclubs,
places of illicit pleasure
anyone or thing can be had,
now or at your leisure.

Many girls have come to town,
young and old to see the sights,
and if they are caught alone,
they disappear into the night.

Even men are never safe,
brutalized, they're often found.
Someday God will vent his wrath,
and burn this evil down!

If you've never been to Never's Bend,
You've never lived in sin.
If you have money, you've got a friend
Any place in Never's Bend.
