The Killer - Cisco Houston[00:00:00]
Written by:Words/traditional Music/Gil 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[00:00:30]
Oh I've rid from san antony[00:00:35]
Through the mesquite and the sand[00:00:36]
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'[00:01:05]
Every hombre in the place[00:01:08]
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[00:01:52]
Stood and drank his glass of mescal[00:01:54]
With assurance all his own[00:01:56]
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[00:02:14]
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[00:02:33]
And quick as lightnin'[00:02:34]
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[00:02:51]
As the killer tried to draw[00:02:53]
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[00:03:15]
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[00:03:47]
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'[00:03:56]
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[00:04:13]
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]
