[00:10.99] | Everyone considered him |
[00:13.04] | The coward of the county |
[00:17.23] | He'd never stood one single time |
[00:19.72] | To prove the county wrong |
[00:23.22] | His mama named him Tommy |
[00:25.91] | But folks just called him yellow |
[00:29.79] | Something always told me |
[00:32.83] | They were reading Tommy wrong |
[00:34.73] | |
[00:36.77] | He was only ten years old |
[00:39.61] | When his daddy died in prison |
[00:42.96] | I looked after Tommy |
[00:46.10] | Cause he was my brother's son |
[00:49.64] | I still recall the final words |
[00:52.74] | My brother said to Tommy |
[00:57.22] | Son my life is over, but yours has just begun |
[01:02.27] | Promise me, son |
[01:05.81] | Not to do the things I've done |
[01:09.17] | Walk away from trouble if you can |
[01:13.67] | Now it don't mean you're weak |
[01:16.12] | If you turn the other cheek |
[01:19.11] | And I hope you're old enough to understand |
[01:24.55] | Son, you don't have to fight to be a man |
[01:27.50] | |
[01:29.95] | There's someone for everyone |
[01:32.04] | And Tommy's love was Becky |
[01:35.72] | In her arms he didn't have |
[01:38.87] | To prove he was a man |
[01:42.21] | One day while he was working |
[01:44.71] | The Gatlin boys came calling |
[01:48.59] | They took turns at Becky |
[01:52.93] | N'there was three of them |
[01:56.34] | Tommy opened up the door |
[01:58.84] | And saw his Becky crying |
[02:02.96] | The torn dress, the shattered look |
[02:05.29] | Was more than he could stand |
[02:09.19] | He reached above the fireplace |
[02:11.18] | Took down his daddy's picture |
[02:14.22] | As a tear fell on his daddy's face |
[02:17.76] | He heard these words again |
[02:19.86] | |
[02:22.46] | Promise me, son |
[02:24.30] | Not to do the things I've done |
[02:27.20] | Walk away from trouble if you can |
[02:31.84] | Now it don't mean you're weak |
[02:34.79] | If you turn the other cheek |
[02:37.22] | And I hope you're old enough to understand |
[02:42.97] | Son, you don't have to fight to be a man |
[02:45.86] | |
[02:48.02] | The Gatlin boys just laughed at him |
[02:50.61] | When he walked into the barroom |
[02:54.75] | One of them got up |
[02:56.50] | And met him half way cross the floor |
[03:00.89] | Tommy turned around they said |
[03:03.74] | "Hey look, old yella's leavin'" |
[03:08.58] | But you could've heard a pin drop |
[03:10.48] | When Tommy stopped and locked the door |
[03:14.77] | Twenty years of crawling |
[03:16.12] | Was bottled up inside him |
[03:20.05] | He wasn't holding nothing back |
[03:22.96] | He let 'em have it all |
[03:27.20] | Tommy left the bar room |
[03:29.14] | Not a Gatlin boy was standing |
[03:33.94] | He said, "This one's for Becky" |
[03:35.53] | As he watched the last one fall |
[03:39.21] | N' I heard him say |
[03:39.86] | |
[03:40.31] | I promised you, Dad |
[03:42.16] | Not to do the things you've done |
[03:45.54] | I walk away from trouble when I can |
[03:50.00] | Now please don't think I'm weak |
[03:52.63] | I didn't turn the other cheek |
[03:55.58] | Papa, I sure hope you understand |
[04:01.16] | Sometimes you gotta fight |
[04:03.01] | When you're a man |
[04:06.80] | Everyone considered him |
