The Killer - Cisco Houston[00:00:00]

Dobe Bill, he went a-riding[00:00:04]

Through the canyon, in the glow[00:00:06]

Of a quiet Sunday morning[00:00:08]

From the town of Angelo[00:00:10]

Ridin' easy on that pinto[00:00:14]

That he dearly loved to straddle,[00:00:16]

With a six-gun and sombrero[00:00:18]

That was wider than his saddle[00:00:20]

And he's hummin' as he's goin'[00:00:24]

Of a simple little song[00:00:26]

That's a-boomin' through the cactus[00:00:28]

As he's gallopin' along:[00:00:29]

"Oh, I've rid from San Antony[00:00:35]

Through the mesquite and the sand[00:00:37]

I'm a rarin', flarin' bucko,[00:00:38]

Not afraid to play my hand.[00:00:40]

Well, I'm a hootin', shootin' demon[00:00:44]

And to have my little fun[00:00:46]

On my pinto called Apache[00:00:48]

And Adolphus that's my gun."[00:00:51]

Well straight to Santa Fe he drifted,[00:00:56]

And he mills around the town[00:00:58]

Sorta gittin' of his bearin's[00:01:00]

As he pours his liquor down[00:01:02]

But he's watchin', always watchin',[00:01:06]

Every hombre in the place,[00:01:07]

Like he's mebbe sorta lookin'[00:01:10]

For some certain hombre's face.[00:01:12]

Then one night he saunters careless[00:01:18]

To the place of Monte Sam[00:01:20]

And he does a bit of playin'[00:01:23]

Like he doesn't give a damn.[00:01:25]

Then all at once it's hushed and quiet,[00:01:28]

Like a calm before the blow,[00:01:31]

And the crowd is tense and nervous,[00:01:33]

And the playin stopped and slow.[00:01:34]

At the bar a man is standin',[00:01:40]

Sneerin' as his glances lay,[00:01:42]

Like a challenge did he fling 'em,[00:01:44]

Darin' 'em to make the play.[00:01:46]

Two-Gun Blake, the Texas killer,[00:01:50]

Hated, feared wherever known[00:01:51]

Stood and drank his glass of mescal[00:01:54]

With assurance all his own.[00:01:57]

Then the eyes of Blake, the killer,[00:02:02]

Met the glance of Dobe Bill[00:02:04]

And they held each one the other[00:02:07]

With the steel of looks that kill,[00:02:09]

Then the tones of Blake came slowly,[00:02:13]

With a sneer in every word[00:02:15]

"Well, you've found me!"[00:02:17]

But the other gave no sign he saw or heard.[00:02:19]

Walkin' calmly toward the speaker,[00:02:26]

He advanced with steady pace[00:02:29]

Then he grinned, and quick as lightnin',[00:02:33]

Slapped him squarely in the face.[00:02:35]

"Shoot, you snake!" he whispered hoarsely.[00:02:39]

"Shoot, you lily-livered cur!"[00:02:41]

"Draw! You're always strong for killin';[00:02:43]

Now I'm here to shoot for her!"[00:02:45]

Some there was that claimed they saw it,[00:02:50]

As the killer tried to draw[00:02:52]

But there's no one knows for certain[00:02:55]

Just exactly what he saw;[00:02:57]

I'll agree the shootin' started[00:03:01]

Quick as Blake had made his start[00:03:02]

Then a brace of bullets hit him[00:03:04]

Fair and certain through the heart.[00:03:06]

As he fell, his hand was graspin'[00:03:13]

For the gun he'd got too late[00:03:14]

With the notches on it showin'[00:03:17]

Like the vagaries of fate.[00:03:19]

And the man who stood there lookin'[00:03:23]

At the killer as he lay[00:03:25]

Murmured: "Nell, I've kept my promise.[00:03:27]

I have made that scoundrel pay!"[00:03:31]

Then Dobe Bill, he went a-ridin'[00:03:36]

From the town of Santa Fe[00:03:39]

On a quiet Sunday morning,[00:03:42]

Goin' happy on his way,[00:03:44]

Ridin' easy on that pinto[00:03:48]

That he dearly loved to straddle[00:03:49]

With a six-gun and sombrero[00:03:51]

That was wider than his saddle,[00:03:53]

And he's a hummin' as he's goin'[00:03:57]

Of a simple little song[00:03:59]

That's a-boomin' through the cactus[00:04:01]

As he's gallopin' along:[00:04:03]

"Oh, I'm goin' down the canyon,[00:04:09]

Through the mesquite and the sand[00:04:11]

I'm a rarin', flarin' bucko,[00:04:12]

Not afraid to play my hand.[00:04:14]

Well I'm a rootin', shootin' demon[00:04:18]

And I have my little fun[00:04:22]

On my pinto called Apache, a-ha,[00:04:24]

And Adolphus that's my gun."[00:04:29]
