Tall Handsome Stranger - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
A tall handsome stranger rode into town[00:00:04]
With fire in his eyes burning red as sundown[00:00:07]
His boots were all dusty his coat open wide[00:00:10]
Six ways of dying hung low on his side[00:00:14]
He went in the town hall asking for me[00:00:20]
They told him that I was still town deputy[00:00:23]
I sent him to prison to pay for his crime[00:00:27]
He killed a guard on the Sante Fe line[00:00:30]
He spread word around town that my time had come[00:00:36]
My notch was already carved on his gun[00:00:40]
He's laughing and braggin and having his fun[00:00:43]
It's all a show for he knows I won't run[00:00:47]
That night in silence the town was asleep[00:00:53]
I sat by my window and looked down the street[00:00:56]
I wished in my heart that he would just ride away[00:01:00]
I hated to face him next sunup that day[00:01:03]
I met him at sunup the crowd gathered round[00:01:10]
Waitin and watching for one to go down[00:01:13]
He grabbed for his six gun tryin his best[00:01:16]
He cursed as my bullet went deep in his chest[00:01:20]
He stood there a moment and looked all around[00:01:26]
Slowly and lifeless he fell to the ground[00:01:29]
The stranger's my brother born an outlaw[00:01:33]
He must have forgotton I taught him to draw[00:01:36]
The whole town was waiting and I was alone[00:01:43]
The blood that I spilled was just like my own[00:01:46]
When she hears this story how Mother will cry[00:01:49]
Brother 'gainst brother and one had to die[00:01:53]
