The Ballad Of Danny Bailey (1909-1934) |
| Some punk with a shotgun killed young danny bailey |
| In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel |
| Killed him in anger, a force he couldnt handle |
| Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life |
| And theres not many knew him the way that we did |
| Sure enough he was a wild one, but then arent most hungry kids |
| Now its all over danny bailey |
| And the harvest is in Dillingers dead |
| I guess the cops won again |
| Now its all over danny bailey |
| And the harvest is in Were running short of heroes back up here in the hills |
| Without danny bailey were gonna have to break up our stills |
| So mark his grave well `cause kentucky loved him |
| Born and raised a proper, I guess life just bugged him |
| And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by A running gun youngster in a sad restless age |
