1
Jesse and the padre try to keep things cool
2
Knowing exactly how to make stone into jewels
3
The judge was the kind of man who always talked fast
4
And the way things were going
5
His world wouldn't last
6
The desperado's make a plan
7
To set the town on fire
8
And when they try to make a stand
9
They were ambushed at the wire
10
The drifter never stays to fight
11
He keeps running till he's way out of sight
12
But it gets him nowhere
13
And the drifter never pays the price
14
He's running through the day and the night
15
But he's running to nowhere
16
The judge said boys don't you know this town is mine
17
Don't going try to change it everything will be just fine
18
Those desperadoes don't pay them no mind
19
Everybody knows that they can't read or write
20
The judge put Jesse in the jail
21
Although there is no crime
22
The padre tried to get him out
23
With a stick of dynamite
24
The drifter never stays to fight
25
He keeps running till he's way out of sight
26
But it gets him nowhere
27
And the drifter never pays a price
28
He's running through the day and the night
29
But he's running to nowhere
30
Oh no
31
The drifter knows he can't always go with the tide
32
The time will come when he'll have to choose up sides
33
Which way will he go will it be left or right
34
The judge says things are either black or white
35
The desperado's make a plan
36
To set the town on fire
37
And when they try to make a stand
38
They were ambushed at the wire
39
The drifter never stays to fight
40
He keeps running till he's way out of sight
41
But it gets him nowhere
42
And the drifter never pays the price
43
He's running through the day and the night
44
But he's running to nowhere
