Dishonest Men

[Verse 1]

Whip-tail scorpions, mean as hell

I'm tellin' you it's the fear they smell

The power of their sting is hard to quell

He's blood-kin to a gila monster

You can break the law if you really wanna

That old judge is bound to string you up

[Chorus]

They want trouble from ya (Trouble from ya)

Yeah,  trouble from ya (Trouble from ya)

Like Big Bart Jackson, Nick the Grub

And Whorehouse Lucky Jim

Along with Tector Crites and Fermal Parlee

They're all dishonest men

They're all dishonest men

[Verse 2]

He runs the law from an old saloon

In a Texas town called Vinegarroon

And that hangin' judge ain't searchin' for the truth

Makes violent love to mountain lions

Don't come around if you're scared to die

And may the Lord have mercy on your soul

[Chorus]

They want trouble from ya (Trouble from ya)

Yeah, trouble from ya (Trouble from ya)

Like Big Bart Jackson, Nick the Grub

And Whorehouse Lucky Jim

Along with Tector Crites  and Fermal Parlee

They're all dishonest men

They're all dishonest men

[Verse 3]

Miss Lilly Langtry is the town muse

Say a bad word about her and you're bound to lose

Where you stand shall be your dying ground

Hardship and slaughter is the daily bread

Don't mess around or you'll wind up dead

There won't be a marker on your grave

[Chorus]

They want trouble from ya (Trouble from ya)

Yeah, trouble from ya (Trouble from ya)

Like Big Bart Jackson, Nick the Grub

And Whorehouse Lucky Jim

Along with Tector Crites  and Fermal Parlee

They're all dishonest men

They're all dishonest men

[Outro]

They're all dishonest men
