Entr'acte / Give a Man Enough Rope / Rope Act Songtext
von Troy Britton Johnson

Give a man enough rope (Give a man enough rope)
Give a man enough rope (Give a man enough rope)
And he can hang himself or not
That is the choice that he has got
He could wind up hanging down from a tree
Or he could spin himself a life
That′s what happened to me

Give a man enough rope (Give a man enough rope)
Give a man enough rope (Give a man enough rope)
You hand two guys a pile of dough
One spends it fast, one spends it slow
You make the choice
Up to you what you do
I met a lot of different folk
And I've got to meet you


Give a man enough rope (Give a man enough rope)
Give a man enough rope (Give a man enough rope)
Give a man enough rope (Give a man enough rope)
Give a man enough rope
And he can get all tangled in the figure eight he tried to spin
But he had luck
And his rope made him free
He spun his fancy figures
Roped his columns
Made his speeches
Loved his horses
Loved his family
Made his movies
Played the Follies
Found a lovely wife
Give a man enough rope
