1
Some punk with a shotgun killed young Danny Bailey
2
In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel
3
Killed him in anger, a force he couldn't handle
4
Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life
5
And there's not many knew him the way that we did
6
Sure enough he was a wild one, but then aren't most hungry kids
7
Now it's all over Danny Bailey
8
And the harvest is in
9
Dillinger's dead
10
I guess the cops won again
11
Now it's all over Danny Bailey
12
And the harvest is in
13
We're running short of heroes back up here in the hills
14
Without Danny Bailey we're gonna have to break up our stills
15
So mark his grave well, 'cause Kentucky loved him
16
Born and raised a proper, I guess life just bugged him
17
And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by
18
A running gun youngster in a sad restless age
19
Now it's all over Danny Bailey
20
And the harvest is in
21
Dillinger's dead
22
I guess the cops won again
23
Now it's all over Danny Bailey
24
And the harvest is in
