Sam Brown |
Op Sam Brown was a lonesome convict |
He come from a Red River town |
There ain’t no two ways about it |
It was Texas law that shot Sam down |
Ol' Sam Brown told me his story |
It seems a bad check writer was he |
Seven times down and seven times sorry |
He had to spend his life under lock and key |
I guess that some will say |
He was worthless |
And that he got only what was fair |
But I’m here to say right now |
Ol' Sam Brown was just a little person |
Who caught up in this lifes |
Great pull and tear |
Ol' Sam Brown, he liked them outlaws |
Billie the Kid, Frank and Jessie James |
And I guess he read a thousand stories |
Of the days when they roamed the plains |
Tell me why didn’t someone |
Help him |
To belive in himself |
Some, too |
Hell no, they’d rather give a man |
About a hundred years |
Just to prove they can be |
Tougher than you |
Ol' Sam Brown died on a Sunday morning |
Layin' right there in that cement cell |
Whith ragged convicts to mourn his passin' |
And no loved ones to bid farewell |
They used to tell him |
Sam — straighten up |
And fly right |
They used to tell him |
Sam — don’t you stay out |
Late at at night |
And why … |
Can’t you be like I am, Sam |
Will you ever see the light? |
