Colonel Cuthbert

Colonel Cuthbert sold the boys out We were headed up to Saint-Denis Lousy Colonel threw his toys out of the pram He threw his toys out He sold the boys out - sister won't you listen to me This ain't no way to behave, so depraved The county line ain't towed by outlaws like me Least not originally, so Colonel Cuthbert met my rifle at night Gave up the ghost of the fight The bayonet end perforates his gut We'll leave him to the witch of the well Leave him to the hound on his tail Leave him for the boys on the trail We're the men who robbed your homestead Left your brother's wife dead Van der Linde resplendent in top hat and tail c tale as old as time We're drinking all the wine We'll drink your bar dry We'll make your men die Cuthbert was too quick to defy What was integral and right So we strung him up at the gallows clong with his fellows Those scoundrels they don't laugh anymore (ha-haa-aaa-aa) Insides turfed out on the floor We'll leave them for the wolf at the door Because we're free We're free cs free as we are meant to be Because we're free We're free cs free as we are meant to be Colonel Cuthbert loved original sin So deeply he would begin Each day in prayer to the devil He's late to the revel Middle finger to the chariot's flight (ha haa-aaa-aa) Gunslinger and he's up for the fight Will the last man down extinguish the light?
