(clarke)

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 recognised 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 sherriff 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 sherriff down



Well all the people were running, j
