lyrics

My shadow walks before me, back to the rising sun
Down in the town below me, some other man done wrong
So, I’ll take a life again before the day is done.
I walk a wasteland without honour
My name is cursed in songs they sing
This line of work brings me no pleasure
But there’s some men who’ve got to swing
On the wild frontier death is going cheap
Fear the laws of men, covenants to keep
My shadow walks before me, back to the rising sun
Down in the town below me, some other man done wrong
So, I’ll take a life again before the day is done.
They say this bandit robbed a stage coach
Another bastard killed his wife
And yet to me it makes no matter
‘Cause all is square in ending life
I choke the pain in amber whiskey
I pay the women of the night
I lie awake and count the hours
A dead man walks at morning light
Tie my rope again, sack cloth over your eyes
Drawing ragged breath, pull the trap and die
My shadow walks before me, back to the rising sun
Down in the town below me, some other man done wrong
So, I’ll take a life again before the day is done.
(Solo – H. Brooks)
Take now the stand, I hold in my hand
The methods and means of your execution
Hear the last rights, the noose pulling tight
To speed your hereafter, take your confession
My shadow walks before me, back to the rising sun
Down in the town below me, some other man done wrong
So, I’ll take a life again before the day is done.
Before the day is done…
