Black barts blues
Iron Maiden/01 Lyrics


What the fuck's that?
Hi, guys, are you in a band or something?
I mean, I mean it would be so cool
If you were in a band 'cause you're driving a big bus
With "band" on the front of it
Why don't you shut up and get on board, will you?
Wow, what happens here?
You got a stereo and a microwave
And, and, and you got a beer
I'd like a Heineken if you've got one
That's real cool, that's great, yeah
Would you like to see Black Bart?
Who's Black Bart?
Let me introduce you

Black Bart's seen it
Black Bart knows
Black Bart's done it
The Black Bart blues
Suspended in suspension
Medieval nights in Tennessee, and elsewhere
We all gotta try the Black Bart blues

Black Bart's truckin' ain't what it seems
Black Bart's lookin', don't know where she's been
Maybe she's an acrobat
Spends her evenings dancing on a pole, ha
We all got to try the Black Bart blues
(Well I know she did, ha)

Black Bart tried most anything
Black Bart liked it but he couldn't sing
So he asked me to tell ya
Try it for yourself and you will see
We all got to try the Black Bart blues (nice)

What did you do that for?
I'm sorry, I just, I, I guess I'm not used to this
Oh, shut up and get on with it, will you?

Black Bart's livin' across the ocean now
But Black Bart's lookin' to come back somehow
So if you are a dancer
You could dance around his pole in May
That's a maypole

Black Bart's coming
Now Black Bart's gone
Black Bart did it, so I wrote this song
Whatever and however
In and out or several at a time, mmh yes
We all got to do the Black Bart blues
Here comes the guitar solo

We all got to try the Black Bart blues, oh, ow
Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa

"Fuck you" said the ting
It's Nicko here, hi, hi
Toodeloo

Two, three, four

He thought pretty good to me, if you ask
He thought pretty good to me, if you ask
One, two, one, two, three, four
I fucking ran not taping it on
Yeah alright
One, two, hoo, ah, one, two, three
"Fuck you" said the ting
Oh, oh okay I didn't see you over there mate
Whoa
One, two, one, two, three
Fuck my ol' boots
Yeah see, see
Are we ready? On, two, three
Oh-ho
Hello, hello?

How about it? Well
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do
The melody is playing innit?
Do, do, do
Shall I come in now or I stay here
I do di rastafari and everyting
Right, we take him away, then we go up here
I said we take him away, and we go up here
No tea for you here
Cd, we're gonna put this on a CD
I got tiny solo at the end of di song
Right oh mate, I want a ball
Yeah, come n' I come n' I sat in there
I can see you
Fuck, said the ting
I saw, I said I seen 'em
Very close

"Black Bart Blues" is about the suit of armour that rode in the back lounge of Iron Maiden's tour buses (named Black Bart). Bruce Dickinson tells that he, his bandmates and their tour manager were driving in a Ford Thunderbird through Florida in 1983, when they passed a gas station with three suits of armour standing outside. So Bruce stopped the car and went to buy one of the three suits of armour that were on sale. The song's lyrics detail a rather infamous story in which a girl stumbled onto the band's tour bus and struck a deal with one of the band members that she'd give them oral sex in exchange for alcohol.
