You know this is a quiet place
And simple folk we are
That’s why we choose who’ll run this town
With whisky in the bar
It takes a very special guy
The sheriff’s star to win
It seemed to be a lucky day
When Yellow Hair came in
His golden locks looked good to us
His promises seemed sweet
He said, I’m gonna kick their ass –
The bad guys on the street
His golden locks looked good to us
His promises seemed sweet
He said, I’m gonna kick their ass –
The bad guys on the street
I’ll fix this town, I’ll drain the swamp
I’ll make those hombres pay
My silver Colt will do the job
At noon, on Saturday
Eleven came and then came noon
At one, a shout went round
It’s Yellow Hair in the saloon
At last he has been found!
Eleven came and then came noon
At one, a shout went round
It’s Yellow Hair in the saloon
At last he has been found!
We saw that he was breaking bread
With those he claimed to hate
The twisted and the sick at heart
The meanest in the state
He used the toughest ruffians
To guard the bar room door
And now he spoke profanities
Not like the guy before
He used the toughest ruffians
To guard the bar room door
And now he spoke profanities
Not like the guy before
What about your promises?
At last a brave man cried
Who are you? Said Yellow Hair
You cannot come inside!
He’s started being loud and rude
And boasting of his gold
He’s always been the baddest dude
And craven lies he’s told
He’s started being loud and rude
And boasting of his gold
He’s always been the baddest dude
And craven lies he’s told
You could say that he toyed with us
But then he gave us hope
His currency was powerful
The six gun and the rope
You know this is a quiet place
And simple folk we are
That’s why we choose who’ll run this town
With whisky in the bar
You know this is a quiet place
And simple folk we are
That’s why we choose who’ll run this town
With whisky in the bar
Somewhere in the deepest hell
Where men parade their sin
It’s unclear where their badness ends
And Yellow Hair’s begins
