A dry killing wind Blows across the desert floor I walked a hundred miles Now it is just a couple more
They put a rope around my neck And put me in the ground Yeah but you know what they say You can't keep a good man down
They gave me just enough rope Wrapped it tight around my throat Swung me from the gallows pole Dumped my body in a hole They gave me just enough rope
Now hell is coming to your town And those who tried to put me down You know they're gonna rue the day You know I'm gonna make 'em pay They gave me just enough rope
They dragged me through the desert Left me in a shallow grave Said I was an outlaw Thought my hanging made them brave
They left me for a corpse For the vultures and the rats Yeah they thought they put me down But now I'm back
They gave me just enough rope Wrapped it tight around my throat Swung me from the gallows pole Dumped my body in a hole They gave me just enough rope
Now hell is coming to your town And those who tried to put me down You know they're gonna rue the day You know I'm gonna make 'em pay They gave me just enough ropeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
