For a career that was cut short by illness and a premature death, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Rory Gallagher sure accomplished a lot in the blues music world. Although Gallagher didn't tour the U.S. nearly enough, spending most of his time in Europe, he was known for his no-holds-barred, marathon live shows at clubs and theaters around the United States. Gallagher passed away from complications owing to liver transplant surgery on June 14, 1995, at age 47. For a good introduction to his unparalleled prowess as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter, pick up Irish Tour 1974, Calling Card, or Fresh Evidence, all available on compact disc. "Secret Agent" lyrics: My baby's got a secret agent, To watch me like a hawk, Well, my baby's got a secret agent, To watch me like a hawk. He knows each time I leave my house, He knows each time I move around. Ow... Secret agent, won't you please take my advice? Secret agent, secret agent, Won't you please heed my advice? You crossed me once, don't cross me twice, I'm gonna cut you down to size. I'll make that man, Turn in his badge in the morning, I slip around, But I'm too quick to catch in the morning, I'll make that man turn in his badge, I'll slip around him, I'm too quick to catch, No jealous woman is gonna keep tabs on me. Well, she's got that secret agent, And he's breathing down my spine, Yea, she's got that secret agent, And he's breathing down my spine, He must like working overtime, I think I'm always hard to find. Oh, secret agent, secret agent, Gonna have a showdown before long, Won't you listen, secret agent, We're gonna have a showdown before long. I know you pack a forty-four, I hope you know just what it's for, I know you pack a forty-four, I hope you know just what it's for, Just keep your shadow from my door. Oww... Thank you for watching me! More rare videos are coming up soon!!!
