Big tall man standing in the streetGun hanging by his sideJust one man that he'd like to meetThat's when I began to hideI recognised him from the face of his sonThe hate in his eye didn't lieAnd what I did can't be undoneBorrowed time there's none to buyWell I hid round the back of a derelict shackAin't looking for a mad showdownBut he was smart, he'd already checkedA week in advance I'd paid downWell the hotel clerk was a fun-loving manThe job he had it didn't payHe told all about what happened that nightThere he is, that's the one's all he'd sayWell all the people were running, jumping, even thumpingOn my bad neighbours doorsCrying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyLet me in I gotta hideWell everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dyingSongtexteNo one to protect our townCurly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly,He's gonna shoot your sheriff downBig tall man standing in the streetNow a hand hovering ready to slideDrew out his gun it wasn't for funLet me in there's nowhere to hideWell I made my play but it wasn't my dayI felt the ripping leadThat's when I knew my time was throughRest in peace were the last words he saidWell all the people were running, jumping, even thumpingOn my bad neighbours doorsCrying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyLet me in I gotta hideWell everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dyingNo one to protect our townCurly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly,He's gonna shoot your sherriff downWell all the people were running, jumping, even thumpingOn my bad neighbours doorsCrying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyLet me in I gotta hideWell everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dyingNo one to protect our townCurly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly,He's gonna shoot your sherriff down Aus Songtexte Mania
