(hicks / lynch)

There never was a man so doggone mean

I wore only black and my eyes were green

And i can tell you now that i'm very old

I'd kill any man for a piece of gold



Oh what a life i've led

I've been a real bad man and i oughta be dead

Oh what a life i've led

I've been real mean man, full of cheating and lying

Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying

Yes i did



I rode into dodge on a sunny day

I went there to steal all the railmen's pay

And when i left town all the streets ran red

I had ten grand in gold, and three guards lay dead



Chorus



I was a bad man with a heart made of stone

If you were a wise man, you would've left me alone



I've lived all my life, such a lonely one

Just me and my horse and a fine six-gun

I've lived and i've loved and i knew great pain

But i know now i'd do it over again singing



Chorus x 2
