Five brothers who left |
|
ArkansasSet out to find the gambler |
|
Who murdered their pa |
|
Five brothers and three in their teens |
|
Gotta find the man |
|
Who killed their pa in |
|
New Orleans |
|
They heard of him in |
|
HoustonAnd his trail was leadin' west |
|
He'd left there many months ago |
|
And so they couldn't rest |
|
Five brothers and three in their teens |
|
Gotta find the man |
|
Who killed their pa in |
|
New Orleans |
|
New Orleans |
|
The sun was hot as fire |
|
And the nights were cold as steel |
|
Hate was strong and youth was wild |
|
And so they couldn't feel |
|
Five brothers and three in their teens |
|
Gotta find the man |
|
Who killed their pa in |
|
New Orleans |
|
His trail led to the |
|
BadlandsAnd the desert promised death |
|
The gambler's odds were different now |
|
He treasured every breath |
|
Five brothers and three in their teens |
|
Close behind the man |
|
Who killed their pa in |
|
New Orleans |
|
New Orleans |
|
When first they saw the killer |
|
He was by the waterhole |
|
Five rifles rang out through the night |
|
They killed the gambler cold |
|
Five brothers and three in their teens |
|
Finally got the man |
|
Who killed their pa in |
|
New Orleans |
|
The desert is their keeper now |
|
For this a traveler said |
|
That poison lived within the hole |
|
Now six of them are dead |
|
Five brothers and three in their teens |
|
Lay beside the man |
|
Who killed their pa in |
|
New Orleans |
|
Lay beside the man |
|
Who killed their pa in |
|
New Orleans |
