The streets are deserted, not a soul in town Down at the jail, a rope hangs down For Willie Brown, for Willie Brown
[Chorus] Hang down Willie Brown, hang down and die Hang down Willie Brown, why you're the one, they cry You're the one, they cry Hang down Willie Brown, hang down and die Hang down Willie Brown, why you're the one, they cry You're the one, they cry
He rode into Denver one warm summer night A clean cut kid, who never had a fight Who never had a fight
[Chorus]
He got in trouble at the Big Rail Saloon He shot and killed a man on the 25th of June The 25th of June
