The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee - 2003 Remaster

Big tall man standing in the street
 Gun hanging by his side
 Just one man that he'd like to meet
 That's when I began to hide
 I recognized him from the face of his son
 The hate in his eye didn't lie
 Oh what I did can't be undone
 Borrowed time there's none to buy
 Well I hid round the back of a derelict shack
 Ain't looking for a mad showdown
 But he was smart, he'd already checked
 A week in advance I'd paid down
 Well the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man
 The job he had it didn't pay
 He told all about what happened that night
 There he is, that's the one's all he'd say
 Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
 on my bad neighbours doors
 crying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
 Let me in I gotta hide
 Well everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying
 No one to protect our town
 Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
 he's gonna shoot your sheriff down
 Big tall man standing in the street
 now a hand hovering waiting to slide
 Drew out his gun it wasn't for fun
 Let me in there's nowhere to hide
 Well I made my play but it wasn't my day
 I felt the ripping lead
 That's when I knew my time was through
 Rest in peace were the last words he said
 Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
 on my bad neighbours doors
 crying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
 Let me in I gotta hide
 Well everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying
 No one to protect our town
 Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
 he's gonna shoot your sheriff down
 Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping
 on my bad neighbours doors
 crying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
 Let me in I gotta hide
 Well everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying
 No one to protect our town
 Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly
 he's gonna shoot your sheriff down
