d**h of outlaw billy John Meridith come over in a hurry Cause theres indian billy john to the gallows She runs to hanks' salloon in a hurry Sees the lawmen sitting there nothing to worry Forteen banks and thirteen cold blooded murders The lawnman is laying down her ... He says darling 'you know we keep law and order And let this be a warning to all his hellraising men' The junifine street was packed at the town hall door They had him on a footstool with the news around his neck Sit draw a breath and hold it tight As forgiveness of the people maybe the lord could you slide Then you keep that foot stool from beneath the soles of his feet Then he saw into the light from te dark end of the street Mamma cried, mamma cried you feel al that weak He wasn't born mean it was others that made him mean They buried him a mile of ten from the bottom of the creek Just an old rusty town simontary Mamma dont come to visit, and it k**s me She puts on her evening gall and works the dark hour streets Keeps the whiskey in her veins to carry The d**h of Outlaw Billy Johns memory Keeps the whishkey in her veins to carry The d**h of Outlaw Billy Johns legendary memory --- .
