High-class Slim came floatin' in down from the county line
Just gettin' right on Saturday night ridin' with some friends of mine
They invited me to come and see just what was on their minds
And then I took my first long look at the Master of Sparks on high

In the back of Jimmy's Mack stood a round steel cage
Welded into shape by Slim, made out of silver gauge
How fine, they cried now with you inside, strapped in there safe and sound
I thought, my, oh, my, how the sparks will fly if that thing ever hit the ground

Slim was so pleased when I had eased into his trap of death
He had slammed the door but he said no more and I thought I'd breathed my last breath
We was out in the sticks down Highway Six and the crowd was just about right
Oh, the speed was too, so out I flew like a stick of rollin' dynamite

When I hit the ground you could hear the sound and see the sparks a country mile
End over end I began to spin but the ball started runnin' wild
But it was too late as I met my fate and the ball started gettin' hot
But through the sparks and the flame I knew that the claim of the Master of Sparks was got
