Texas Red

Texas Red started to kill when he was just 19 Put a bullet through a man's heart And fell in love with devil's art Word was out before the sky turned black That Red killed a man, for a half bottle of Jack On a Rainy Day, seven boys tried to take Red down But Red fired five rounds out his gun Red missed not one He put his last round through their horse's head And when it fell, it crushed the last two dead A few months passed, and Red set out of town for 40 days He stopped by the grave of Old Man Crow Then away Red rode Red set out for Montana With an evil grin beneath his dirty bandana Early in the morn, before the sun's light even did show Red snuck through the barbed wire fence For the killing to commence The Montana's Cowboy didn't even stand Before Red well he put four holes through that poor man That cowboy had a dad, and that daddy had a brother He lived in Arizona in a small town So the daddy rode down When he got to his brother Dan he cried: "My son, well he was shot and died." When Dan rose from his chair, well the Daddy spoke these words: "I put a bounty up so Ranger Dan. Go kill this man." (Dan said:) "You can pay me the next time I see ya And away he rode to the town of Agua Fria." While the Angels sang
