Marty Robbins - The Outlaws lyrics

[Marty Robbins - The Outlaws lyrics]

The outlaws are commin'
A harder ridin' bunch of outlaws
No one ever saw
I don't recall the lawman that could
Match or beat the draw
The rode the west, they fought the best
The never lost a fight
They did their hidin' in the daytime
Ridin' most at night

The outlaws are commin'
They rode into Yuma on a hot September day
Hit the bank and got the gold
And then they rode away
The sheriff tried to stop 'em
But he didn't really try
The sheriff thought too much of life
And he didn't wanna die

The outlaws are commin'
The governor of the territory
Called the rangers in
The rangers caught the outlaws and
The fightin' did begin
For seven hours they fought and
There were bodies all around
Not one body of an outlaw lay upon the ground

The outlaws are commin'
They only took the money that the
Rich got by their greed
And gave it to the ranchers
Who were desperately in need
They'd ride into the poorest section
Of a border town
Evenly distributed to the poorest of the town
The outlaws are commin'
Maybe it was wrong to steal
But was it wrong to give?
They took many chances so a
Friend in need might live
One by one they've gone but still
There's one alive to tell
The outlaws never failed to hear it
When a friend would yell

The outlaws are commin'
