Barracuda Dan |
Do you recall that bank job in 1881? |
We lit out 'cross the country, spent a whole year on the run |
Not seeing where we went, just looking back the way we come |
We didn’t see the Sheriff sneak up on us from the front |
Hey Barracuda Dan |
He was a straight lawman |
His teeth were a tombstone’s span, no, no |
One look and the badmen ran |
We had to fight it out there though we knew it were no use |
We both knew Barracuda and we knew we had to lose |
But better dyin' Dan’s way than dyin' in a noose |
And swingin while the people cheered and jeered and spat abuse |
You tried to rope his horse and I fired at his head |
He caught the bullet in his teeth and spat it in my leg |
And bit the lassoo through so’s it was you that fell instead |
Then Barracuda’s face said «hold it, one move and you’re dead» |
«Now even I can’t do all that the law requires me to,» |
Said Dan, «I don’t believe in hangin', here’s what I’ll do |
I’ll take your horses, cash and guns, the rest is up to you» |
He left us 'neath the desert sun in 1882 |
