J J Sneed

 

*

At last I have called up with you and you're a sight to see:

*

could this really be my outlaw lover JJ Sneed?

Could a woman with a painted face and pretty sweet disguise

* * *

turn your heart against me with her evil cunning eyes, her evil cunning eyes.

*

JJ, it's been you and me right from the very start,

*

and ever job we ever pulled I'd always done my part.

We'd really stick together until the bitter end

* *

and it was my understanding we were whole lots more than friends,

*

a whole lot more than friends.

*

And it was me that kept you on when nights were dark and cold,

*

but I guess I didn't look like much in these old ragged clothes.

But you said it didn't matter cause you love me that a way,

* *

you said that no one else could ever steal your heart away,

F* G N.C. A A

steal your heart away.

(Key Change to Db)

*

Do you recall the Union Bank we robbed in Franklin Town,

*

as we made our getaway the sheriff gunned you down.

And I doctored up your bullet wounds and nursed you while you sit,

* *

but now you have betrayed me, is that the thanks I get,

*

is that the thanks I get?

*

Oh, yeah, JJ, I'm thinking now of how we'd all begun,

*

of all the times we've robbed and killed with our trust wordy gun.

Why we stood off a fuss, it was JJ just you and I,

* *

but now you have betrayed me and for that you're gonna die,

*

yeah, for that you're gonna die.

*

The good old days are over as we stand here in the rain,

*

JJ, I'm gonna shoot you now, I hope you'll feel no pain.

I hear whoopees of the horses and fieces on my trail,

* *

I guess I'll join you soon but for now JJ farewell,

* * * *

for now JJ farewell.
