Fisticuffs Meaning

[[Verse 1]
They found James Ambrose dead in his cell
A gaping gash in his arm had drained him down to Hell
No one knew for sure if Ambrose was his name
They called him Yankee Sullivan in early days of fame

[Chorus]
He’d known the game of fisticuffs had always treated him right
But no one knew the men who came and took his life that night

[Verse 2]
He’d spent some time in Botany Bay atoning for his sins
He fought a bout with Hammer Lane and took a tainted win
He was the hero of the Bowery, a prince of lawless times
Then was battered by the “Butcherman” in 1849

[Chorus]
He knew the game of fisticuffs, he knew the game of might
But no one knew the men who came and took his life one night

[Post-Chorus]
He knew the game of fisticuffs
He knew the game of fisticuffs

[Instrumental Bridge]
, [Verse 3]
Lilly and McCoy were shy of a hundred and forty pounds
In 1842 they went a hundred and eighteen rounds
They begged McCoy to cash it in, he said that he would not
Got up and fought one more round, then died right on the spot

[Chorus]
He knew the game of fisticuffs, he knew the game of fight
But no one knew the game would come and take his life that night

[Post-Chorus]
He knew the game of fisticuffs
He knew the game of fisticuffs

[Outro]]
