Comin' After Jinny

He'll be comin' down the road at the break of dayHis head thrown back and his guns tied lowHe's comin' after Jinny wants to take her away but I ain't gonna let her goOh he boasted in town but she loved him he said she'd be his with the sunHe said anyone try to stop him would be just one more notch on his gunThey say that he's headstrong and handsome his hair's blowin' wild and freeAnd they got a hold I ain't comin' cause he's a lot younger than meAnd he'll be comin' down the road...He hasn't had much education he ain't worked a day in his lifeHe's livin' with some older woman they say she's another man's wifeBut she wants him needs him and loves him she buys him his clothes and his mealsWhen she finds he's gone she'll be prayin' and Lord I know just how she feelsBecause he's comin' down the road...The sun's at his back as he's comin' the smile is cruel on his lipHis right hand is slowly descendin' to the sixgun that rest on his hipThen his lower lip strated tremble and he started cryin' as he looked up at meAnd I picked him up I said son you're only four years oldAnd you know Jinny's only threeSo come on in the house and have some cookies and milkAnd he did and the tears turned to smilesAnd I called up his mama I drove him homeAnd Jinny's safe at least for a little while
