Ben Nichols Davy Brown
Hey, Hey, Davy Brown
You weren’t born a killer, but ya can’t tell it now
Take that shotgun, saw it on down
You’re one bloody bastard Davy Brown
One step ahead of that hangman’s noose
Gonna take ‘em all with ya when they come for you
Hey, Hey, Davy Brown
Keep yer eye on the coin and yer ear to the ground
Your Whitneyville Colt cut a buncha men down
A string full of ears for Davy Brown
One step ahead of that hangman’s noose
Gonna take ‘em all with ya when they come for you
[Chorus:]
Davy Brown, Davy Brown
Where ya gonna be when the hammer comes down?
Can you outshoot the Devil? Outrun his hounds?
Ain’t nothing to it but to stay above ground
Hey, Hey, Davy Brown
Woke up in jail for the last time now
Set a boy a fire, shot another one down
It’s a dance with the gallows for Davy Brown
Dance with the gallows for Davy Brown
Don’t believe in Hell, but he figures somehow
Even if it’s real it’s gonna spit him back out
[Chorus x2]
