Big tall man standing in the streetGun hanging on by his sideJust one man that he'd like to meetThat's when I began to hideI recognized 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 wereRunning, jumping, even thumpingOn my bad neighbor's doorsCrying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyLet me in I gotta hideSongtexteWell, everybody wasCrying, sighing Sam McGee's dyingNo one to protect our townCurly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyHe'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 wereRunning, jumping, even thumpingOn my bad neighbor's doorsCrying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyLet me in I gotta hideWell, everybody wasCrying, sighing Sam McGee's dyingNo one to protect our townCurly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyHe's gonna shoot your Sheriff downWell, all the people wereRunning, jumping, even thumpingOn my bad neighbor's doorsCrying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyLet me in I gotta hideWell, everybody wasCrying, sighing Sam McGee's dyingNo one to protect our townCurly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyHe's gonna shoot your Sheriff downRunning, jumping, even thumpingOn my bad neighbor's doorsCrying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls fillyLet me in I gotta hideWell, everybody wasCrying, sighing Sam McGee's dying Aus Songtexte Mania
