Big Tommy standing in the street,
gonna hang on by his side.
Just one man and he lied to me,
that's when I began to hide.
I recognized him from the face of his soul,
the hate in his eyes didn't lie.
But what I did kept me in town,
for a time that's not a lie.
Well,
he'd run up back on the day we reached shack,
he'd look us for a mass showdown.
When he was smart,
he'd already checked,
a week in advance I paid down.
Everybody was crying,
sighing,
saying Mickey's dying,
no one to protect our town.
Curly,
Billy,
silly,
with his calling calls,
Billy,
is gonna shoot you sheriff down.
I was crying, there's nowhere to hide.
Well, I made my plea, but it wasn't my day.
I felt the regret and led.
That's when I knew my time was through,
at the feast for the last time.
Well, I'm running,
jumping,
even thumping on my bad
neighbor's doors.
Crying,
Curly,
Billy,
silly,
with his calling calls,
Billy,
let me in,
I gotta hide.
Crying,
sighing,
saying Mickey's dying,
no one to protect our town.
Curly,
Billy,
silly,
with his calling calls,
Billy,
is gonna shoot you sheriff down.
Well, I'm running,
jumping,
even thumping on my bad neighbor's doors.
Crying,
Curly,
Billy,
silly,
with his calling calls,
Billy,
let me in, I gotta hide.
Crying,
sighing,
saying Mickey's dying,
no one to protect our town.
Curly,
Billy,
silly,
with his calling calls,
Billy,
is gonna shoot you sheriff down.
He's gonna shoot you sheriff down.
I'm running, jumping,
even thumping on my bad neighbor's doors.
