Intro :
They were D oolin Doolin-D alton
High or l ow it was the s ame
Easy m oney and faithless w omen
Red eye w hiskey for the p ain.
G o down little Dalton it must b e God's will
T wo brothers lyin dead in C offeeville.
T wo voices call to you from w here they stood
" Lay down your lawbooks now they're n o damn g ood."
B etter keep on m ovin Doolin-D alton
T ill your s hadow sets you f ree.
And if you're f ast and if you're l ucky
You will ne ver se e that hangin t ree.
Well the t owns lay out ac ross the dusty plain
Like g raveyards filled with tombstones w aitin for the names
And a m an could use his b ack or use his b rains
But s ome just went stir-crazy Lord cause n othin ever c hanged
Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
Be was workin cheap just buyin time
And then he laughed and said I'm goin
And so he left that peaceful life behind.
