Outlaw

[Spoken]

Now if it’s good and I say “do it over”

You gotta be a judge because this is so much fun

I would just say do it over and over just for fun

And like, I realize we have other things to do

[Verse 1]

I woke up a-shiverin’ in my blanket

The cold wind whistlin’ through the open door

I heard a stranger cursin’ on my sister

I said, “Oh Lord, what is this bad man for?”

[Verse 2]

I jumped up a-stumblin’ for my sister

I feeled her laugh as she fell to the floor

The wind was whistlin’ like a train in the station

And that outlaw had just run out the door

[Chorus]

Please, mister, don’t ya kill my sister

Would ya take the only life I have?

The outlaw said, “Son, stand in thе corner”

“If I kill your sister, well, that’s too bad”

Sing a song, makе it easy

[Verse 3]

Now I can hear a sick dog through a blizzard

And I can feel the springline on a tree

But when that outlaw struck down pretty sister

Don’cha know heaven walked out, why, I could not see

[Verse 4]

I rest here every night with kin, family

We talk about the day and lows to be

Well I come terrified of these discussion

When I become the only soul who's seeked

[Chorus]

Please, mister, don’t ya kill my sister (don’tcha do it)

Would ya take the only life I have?

The outlaw said, “Son, stand in the corner”

“If I kill your sister, well that’s too bad”

Please Sheriff, hang the outlaw

Please, mister, don’t ya kill my sister
