1
Five brothers who left Arkansas
2
Set out to find the gambler
3
Who murdered their pa
4
Five brothers and three in their teens
5
Gotta find the man
6
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
7
They heard of him in Houston
8
And his trail was leadin' west
9
He'd left there many months ago
10
And so they couldn't rest
11
Five brothers and three in their teens
12
Gotta find the man
13
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
14
New Orleans
15
The sun was hot as fire
16
And the nights were cold as steel
17
Hate was strong and youth was wild
18
And so they couldn't feel
19
Five brothers and three in their teens
20
Gotta find the man
21
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
22
His trail led to the Badlands
23
And the desert promised death
24
The gambler's odds were different now
25
He treasured every breath
26
Five brothers and three in their teens
27
Close behind the man
28
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
29
New Orleans
30
When first they saw the killer
31
He was by the waterhole
32
Five rifles rang out through the night
33
They killed the gambler cold
34
Five brothers and three in their teens
35
Finally got the man
36
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
37
The desert is their keeper now
38
For this a traveler said
39
That poison lived within the hole
40
Now six of them are dead
41
Five brothers and three in their teens
42
Lay beside the man
43
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
44
Lay beside the man
45
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
