E v'ry one con-s |               | idered him the co  ward of the c ounty     | 
He n |               |              |                | ever stood one single time to prove the county wr  ong    | 
His m omma named him T |         | ommy the fo  lks just called him y ellow    | 
S |               |                 |       omething always told me they were readin'  Tommy w rong    | 
 
 
H |           |                      | e was only ten years old when his da  ddy died in p rison     | 
I |              |             |               |  looked after Tommy 'cos he was my brothers so  n       | 
I s till recall the f |              | inal words my br  other said to T ommy      | 
S |              |        |          on my life is over but yours has j  ust beg-u n          | 
 
 
P romise me son   not t  o do  the things I've d one     | 
w alk away from t rouble if you c an       | 
Now i t won't mean your wea |  k   if yo  u turn  the other ch eek
I hope your old enou gh to under-s |G tand
y ou don't have to figh t to be a ma n      | 
 
 
There's s omeone for e |             | very one and To  mmys love was B ecky
I |              |              |              | n her arms he didn't have to prove he was a ma  n     | 
One d ay while he was w |           | orkin'the Gat  lin boys came ca llin'     | 
T |                  |       |              | hey took turns at Becky  There was three o  f them   
 
 
T |          |               | ommy open up the door and sa  w his Becky c ryin'      | 
The t |              |                 |                  | orn dress the shattered look was more than he could s  tand   | 
He r eached above the f |                   | ire place and took do  wn his daddys p icture   | 
as the t |                 |              |                ears fell on his Daddys face he heard these words   a-g ain
 
 
P |           |   romise me son n  ot t  o do  the things I've done    | 
w |              | alk away from tr  ouble if you can     | 
Now i |                  |     t don't mean your weak i  f yo  u turn t he other cheek      | 
I h ope your old en-oug h to understand          | 
Son y |                   |         ou don't have to fight to be   |  a  man
 
 
The G atlin boys just l |                      | aughed at him when he wa  lked into the b ar room
| | | | |
one of them got up and met him half way 'cross the floor
when T ommy turned around  |              | they said Hey lo  ok ol'Yellows le aving    | 
But y |                                                   ou could-a heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and   blocked the door
 
 
T wenty years of c |            | rawlin'was bot  tled up in-si de him     | 
he w |              |                   |           | asn't holdin'nothin'back he let 'em have it all        | 
when T ommy left the Bar r |          | oom not a Ga  tlin boy was standi n'     | 
He s |                                           | aid this one's for Becky as he watched the la  st one fall
And I heard him say.
 
 
I p romised you Dad  |   n  ot to   do t he things you done   
I w alk away from t rouble when I can   
now p lease don't think I'm weak  |   I d  id-n'  t turn t he other cheek   |
and P |               | opa I sure hope y  ou understa nd some-t imes you've gotta fight  | 
when your a m an       | 
E |            |               | very one considered him the co  ward of the c ounty
