"Good everning to you mister" the bounty hunter said
				           
"Ya dont know me but I know that there's a price on your head
				    
I know you're wanted dead or a live thats what the posters say
				      		   
But I never shoot a man at night when he ain't had time to pray"

			   
So I'll give until sunrise tomorrow my friend
				 
Before I come and shoot you down and bring your body in
			       
I warn that I do my work quite well with a gun or knife
				  	       
I've tracked down many a man I've taken many a life

Chorus:
			   
Father do not mourn for me mother do not weep
		      
Whatever a man soweth that also shall he reep

				  
I had a long long sleepless night with the fear upon my breath
				   
Tryin to get ready with my mornin' duel with death
				 
I hid up in a hayloft out on the edge of town
				 		  
And at sunrise the bounty hunter came to shoot me down

				  
I fired down at the bounty hunter sandin' out in the street
				        
He raised his gun and fired at round of shots back up at me
				
He hit my chest and shoulder, my gun flew from my hand
				  	          
I am standin up in this hayloft a wounded unarmed man

Chorus

				    
The bounty Hunter he holds his fire and hollors up at me
				  
"Come out and take it like a man, I make it quick and clean"
				
I now my time is runnin out and I got no time to stall
				   		   
So reach a grab the pitch fork that hangin' on the wall

			       
My body arches as I stretch to face the risin' sun
				 
And I feel like a warrior's bow, freshly carved and strung
				      
I launch my body through the air with the pitch fork in my hand
					 		 
Stabs the bounty hunter in the chest and pins him to the sand

				
And now my muscle start to rust and my thoughts are growin' cold
			 
While Gabriel and Satan, shoot craps for my soul
