Lyrics

Ol’ Dood (Part II)

[Verse 1]

He found Seamus sitting in a bottom, perched on a bay

Dood figured that he was about three hundred yards away

Seamus didn't know that he was deadly as can be

Thought he was out of range of that rifle from Cantuckee

[Verse 2]

Dood laid that old long rifle right across a fallen tree

Took moonlight sight on Seamus, let that iron ball fly free

His shot was true as David's rock, and it found its mark for sure

Knocked him flying from his horse, the one they call McClure

[Chorus]

Left the varnish off his words, feared no beast nor man

And if either came upon him, they'd damn sure get slayed

He was harder than the nails hammered Jesus' hands

He was the one they called Dood

Son of a mountain miner and a Shawnee maiden

[Verse 3]

Ol' Dood walked down the holler to go inspect his man

He found Seamus playing possum, knife ready in his hand

But ol' Dood saw it coming, beat him to the draw

Moonlight bouncing off that tomahawk was the last thing ol' Seamus ever saw

[Chorus]

He left the varnish off his words, feared no beast nor man

Didn't wanna end up in his debt, 'cause it'd damn sure get paid

He was harder than the nails hammered Jesus' hands

He was the one they called Dood

Son of a mountain miner and a Shawnee maiden

Son of a mountain miner and a Shawnee maiden
