When I Do Die

Lyrics

And when I do die, would you carry my bones
 Down to the valley before you?
 Lay me to rest with two guns on my chest
 And say, "boy, your fight is over"
 And sleep now, my bonny boy
 You've nothing left to fear
 You've had a good fight, but now you've learned how to die
 So where do we go from here?
 And I met this girl, her name was Clarice
 She was all that my heart did desire
 But she'd given her hand to some other man
 Ooh, it was me who should've been there at the altar
 She says, "lie down with me, my bonny boy
 You've nothing left to fear
 Though I love you 'til I die, this is goodbye
 So where do we go from here?"
 So I called him out onto the street
 And we put forty paces between us
 And I turned on a dime, and my six-shooter cried
 And when the dust cleared, it was him that was bleedin'
 I said, "sleep now, my bonny boy
 You've nothing left to fear
 You've had a good fight, but now I'll teach you to die
 So where do we go from here?"
 So I ran from that town, me and my fair maid
 For the sheriff said I'd be hangin' by morning
 But I slipped from his grasp, yeah, he hasn't caught me yet
 Though I've a feelin' that my time is comin'
 They said, "put up your hands, my bonny boy
 You've nothing left to fear
 You've had a good fight, but I'll be hangin' you tonight
 So where do we go from here?"
 So when I do die, would you carry my bones
 Down to the valley before you?
 And lay me to rest with two guns on my chest
 And say, "boy, your fight is over"
