IntroD.....F....C/E.......D.Verse 1One and Dall had heard the stories and our wGitness had been sDworn
'Bout a Dman born in Hardburly back in June of twenty-nAine
Must have Dgot that Martin Meylin muzzle dGay he was Dborn
Things he could Ddo with that rifle, blow the bDalls off a bat, reload, and sAhoot it one more Dtime

Verse 2Had a moDnster of a mule, was a miGghty fine sDteed
DSham and Sam, a tomahawk and that flintlock's all he nAeed
FiDnding food and finding trouble and alGways taking hDeed
ADny man that crossed him was surely gonna bleed
And he'd stDretch you up and burn you for calAlin' him half-bDreedChorusLeft the varGnish off his words, feared Dno beast nor man
Didn't want to end up in his debt 'cause it'd damn sure get paAid
He was haDrder than the nails hammered JeGsus' haDnds
He was the oDne they called Dood
Son of a mountain miner and a ShAawnee maiDden
InterludeD.....F....C/E.......D.Verse 3Wore a size seDventeen ring, had hGands like a bDear
And iDf he got 'em on ya, he's takin' that top hAair
His grandfather taDught him how to hunt, how to lGive off the lDand
TaDught him how to take a scalp wAhen you kill a mDanVerse 4He was a deDadly warrin' daddy with a gGun gleam in his eDyes
Till he foDund him a good woman, calm down the raAge
He buDilt a home from the land with the haGnds the Good Lord gave hDim
Then old DDood got his own food, had no nDeed for the scrip that old cAoal company paDidChorusLeft the varGnish off his words, feared Dno beast nor man
Didn't want to end up in his debt 'cause it'd damn sure get paAid
He was haDrder than the nails hammered JeGsus' haDnds
He was the oDne they called Dood
SDon of a mountain miner and a ShAawnee maiDden
SDon of a mountain miner and a ShAawnee maiDdenOutroD.....F....C/E......D..
