Hey Hey Davy Brown You weren’t born a killer But ya can’t tell it now
Take that shotgun Saw on down You’re one bloody bastard Davy Brown
One step ahead of that hangman’s noose Gonna take ‘em all with ya when they come for you
Hey Hey Davy Brown Keep yer eye on the coin And yer ear to the ground
Your Whitneyville Colt Cut a buncha men down A string full of ears For Davy Brown
One step ahead of that hangman’s noose Gonna take ‘em all with ya when they come for you
Davy Brown, Davy Brown Where ya gonna be when the hammer comes down? Can you outshoot the Devil? Outrun his hounds? Ain’t nothing to it but to stay above ground
Hey Hey Davy Brown Woke up in jail For the last time now
Set a boy a fire Shot another one down It’s a dance with the gallows For Davy Brown Dance with the gallows For Davy Brown Don’t believe in Hell But he figures somehow
Even if it’s real It’s gonna spit him back out
Davy Brown, Davy Brown Where ya gonna be when the hammer comes down? Can you outshoot the Devil? Outrun his hounds? Ain’t nothing to it but to stay above ground
