Lyrics

Cole Younger Killed My Brother
by Rita Hosking

Oh, he’s a bad man, 
who’s a bad man, oh now, 
who’s got eyes in the back of his head, 
leaves a poor boy face down in the dirt, dead?  Dead.

Oh, build the fence high, 
‘bout yea high, oh now, can’t get the damn devil off of my mind, 
gonna get somthin done when I get me some time.

Pack a mule and make my quarter, smell the whiskey and I come the corner,
Hey boy, who you lookin for ?  Cole Younger.  He killed my brother.

Oh, she’s a cryin, Mama’s cryin, oh now, 
friends standin round just waiting for rain, 
they’re gonna turn their heads, they’re gonna hear this poor boy sing.

Oh, it’s a fine gun, a mighty fine gun, oh now, 
kerosene and cold corn’ll keen my brain, 
he can run he can hide but he won’t fool a soul again.

Chorus

Oh, he’s a bad man, 
who’s a bad man, oh now, 
who’s got eyes in the back of his head, 
leaves a poor boy face down in the dirt, dead?  Dead.
