Hey hey Davy Brown
You weren't born a killer
But ya can't tell it now

Take that shotgun
Saw it on down
A string full of ears
For Davy Brown

One step ahead of that hangman's noose
Gonna take 'em all with ya when they come for you

Hey hey Davy Brown
Keep yer eye on the coin
And yer ear to the ground

Your whitneyville colt
Shot a buncha men down
You're one bloody bastard Davy Brown

One step ahead of that hangman's noose
Gonna take 'em all with ya when they come for you

Davy Brown, Davy Brown
Where ya gonna be when the hammer comes down?
Can you outshoot the devil? Outrun his hounds?
Ain't nothing to it but to stay above ground

Hey hey Davy Brown
Woke up in jail
For the last time now

Set a boy a fire
In a west coast town
It's a dance with the gallows
For Davy Brown

Dance with the gallows
For Davy Brown

Don't believe in hell
But he figures somehow

Even if it's real
It's gonna spit him back out

Davy Brown, Davy Brown
Where ya gonna be when the hammer comes down?
Can you outshoot the devil? Outrun his hounds?
Ain't nothing to it but to stay above ground
