Hollies - The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy текст песни

(clarke)

Big tall man standing in the street

Gun hanging by his side

Just one man that hed like to meet

Thats when I began to hide

I recognised him from the face of his son

The hate in his eye didnt lie

Oh what I did cant be undone

Borrowed time theres none to buy

Well I hid round the back of a derelict shack

Aint looking for a mad showdown

But he was smart, hed already checked

A week in advance Id paid down

Well the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man

The job he had it didnt pay

He told all about what happened that night

There he is, thats the ones all hed say

Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping

On my bad neighbours doors

Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly

Let me in I gotta hide

Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgees dying

No one to protect our town

Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly,

Hes gonna shoot your sherriff down

Big tall man standing in the street

Now a hand hovering waiting to slide

Drew out his gun it wasnt for fun

Let me in theres nowhere to hide

Well I made my play but it wasnt my day

I felt the ripping lead

Thats when I knew my time was through

Rest in peace were the last words he said

Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping

On my bad neighbours doors

Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly

Let me in I gotta hide

Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgees dying

No one to protect our town

Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly,

Hes gonna shoot your sherriff down

Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping

On my bad neighbours doors

Crying curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly

Let me in I gotta hide

Well everybody was crying, sighing sam mcgees dying

No one to protect our town

Curly billy silly with his colt he calls filly,

Hes gonna shoot your sherriff down
