Werth-Williams | |
Do you recall that bank job in 1881? | |
We lit out 'cross the country, spent a whole year on the run | |
Not seeing where we went, just looking back the way we come | |
We didn't see the Sheriff sneak up on us from the front | |
Hey Barracuda Dan | |
He was a straight lawman | |
His teeth were a tombstone's span, no, no | |
One look and the badmen ran | |
We had to fight it out there though we knew it were no use | |
We both knew Barracuda and we knew we had to lose | |
But better dyin' Dan's way than dyin' in a noose | |
And swingin while the people cheered and jeered and spat abuse | |
You tried to rope his horse and I fired at his head | |
He caught the bullet in his teeth and spat it in my leg | |
And bit the lassoo through so's it was you that fell instead | |
Then Barracuda's face said “hold it, one move and you're dead” | |
“Now even I can't do all that the law requires me to,” | |
Said Dan, “I don't believe in hangin', here's what I'll do | |
I'll take your horses, cash and guns, the rest is up to you” | |
He left us 'neath the desert sun in 1882 |
