lyrics

His mother died while giving birth, his daddy ran away.
He was raised by renegade soldiers, brought up the warrior way.
The cemetary's full of men who tried to face him down,
But if you reach to slap that leather, you won't even hear the round.
You'll be dead before you hit the ground.

He was a rough and ready, tough and hard, dandy handsome hunk.
A long, tall gunslinger, full of cowboy spunk.
He chewed tobacco and before the juice hit the spitoon he said:
"Your soul's already in hell friend and you'll be joining it soon..."

Women had no power on him for he was bold and gay,
Children stopped their playing, and the men got outta his way.
He admired no one, and his respect you had to earn.
He lived by his motto that many men would learn.
Like that rowdy bunch who crossed him on that dusty street at noon,
"Your soul's already in hell friend and you'll be joining it soon..."

Some ranchers once hired him for his skills as a pistolero,
To hunt down some rascals rustling cattle out in Reno.
They was good with knives and guns, a mean and murdering gang.
They was the rapeinest, theivenest bunch of coyotes this side of the Rio Grande.
Their leader was a half-crazed Apache with eyes like rollin' dice.
He could knife a man at a hundred feet, his heart was made of ice.
Their career was ended when they heard these words as they walk out that salloon,
"Your soul's already in hell friend and you'll be joining it soon..."
