(Hicks / Lynch)
|
There never was a man so doggone mean
|
I wore only black and my eyes were green
|
And I can tell you now that I'm very old
|
I'd kill any man for a piece of gold
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oh what a life I've led
|
I've been a real bad man and I oughta be dead
|
Oh what a life I've led
|
I've been real mean man, full of cheating and lying
|
Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying
|
Yes I did
|
|
I rode into Dodge on a sunny day
|
I went there to steal all the railmen's pay
|
And when I left town all the streets ran red
|
I had ten grand in gold, and three guards lay dead
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I was a bad man with a heart made of stone
|
If you were a wise man, you would've left me alone
|
|
I've lived all my life, such a lonely one
|
Just me and my horse and a fine six-gun
|
I've lived and I've loved and I knew great pain
|
But I know now I'd do it over again Singing
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
