1
Death bells are ringing in Wichita town
2
Two brothers will meet when the sun's going down
3
Blood's thicker than water poor mother cry
4
Which son will live which son will die
5
Jimmy Laredo a man with a dream
6
Sent his young brother Johnny to old Abilene
7
To bring back his true love by name
8
Katy Lee the girl he attended his bride to be
9
The trip was along when they both came to know
10
That sometimes from friendship a sweet love would grow
11
He's bringing her back in a new weddin' gown
12
And there'll be a show down in Wichita town
13
Jimmy's not worried his six gun's tied down
14
And no one outdraws him in Wichita town
15
But can he do it can he kill his kin
16
Blood's thicker than water his, ma, cries again
17
The stage made it stop at the Last Chance Saloon
18
The crowd all stepped back to give both brothers room
19
Young Johnny stepped down there was fear in his eyes
20
But for lover pity he'd gladly die
21
They still tell the story to this very day
22
How their, ma, jumped between them when Jim made it play
23
She cried out in anguish oh sons are you blind
24
If you must take a life oh Lord let it be mine
25
Death bells are ringing in Wichita town
26
They mourn for a mother whose son's shot her down
27
And there in the Wichita's street where she lay
28
Blood's thicker than water her smile seemed to say
