Treetop Slim & Billy Lowgrass |
Treetop Slim was a gangling lad |
Stood six-foot-six at twelve |
On painted pony into town |
His brogan shoes would scrape the ground |
Talk about a rifle shot |
Treetop Slim was really hot |
Billy Lowgrass, he was small |
Just barely pushing five feet tall |
But when he drew his pistol aim |
Everybody knowed his name |
Billy Lowgrass, better think fast |
Come on, Slim, the chance is dim |
They’ve got faster horses, grown men riding |
Two young boys can’t go on hiding |
Treetop Slim and Billy Lowgrass |
Texas Rangers are dogging your ass |
Hiding out in the land of pine cones |
A life of crime won’t last too long |
Treetop Slim, it’s sink or swim now |
Billy Low' you ought to know |
They’ve got faster horses, grown men riding |
Two young boys can’t go on hiding |
Treetop Slim and Billy Lowgrass |
Fredonia lawmen dogging your ass |
Hiding out in a piney wood |
Robbing banks won’t do you no good |
Treetop Slim and Billy Lowgrass |
Texas lawmen closing in fast |
Hiding out in a deep pine thicket |
Robbing banks just ain’t the ticket |
