He took a sip from the whisky jar and had a stern look on his face He shot a glance to the man behind the bar And said I hear the devil comes through this place The man looked shocked and he looked confused And then decided to go along He said, well sir I guess I'd be lying if I told you that you were wrong Took another sip, and pulled out a gun, and set it down between the two I hear he comes through around this time, sir, is that true The man shook his head and reached for a gla** And set it down on the bar He said, you know mister when people go looking for him They don't have to look too far And he said I'm the one that'll bring him down Said I'm the name he fears I've been running down that son of a b**h For the better part of my years Then said I'm gonna make him pay, pay for what he'd done I'm gonna make him pay, pay for what he'd done The man at the bar poured another gla**, then asked just what he did Said he stole my wife, and she stole my son one night and just disappeared
Then my brother one day, we drank too much, hit a tree and now he's dead Now my life's just pissed away and I curse HIM for what he did Sounds to me like you're chasin a ghost, if I might be so bold Grabbed the man by the throat, put the gun to his head and said What do you know A shot rang out and somebody screamed, then everybody hit the floor Shot a man down that tried to run, fell right in front of the door And said I'm gonna make him pay, pay for what he'd done I'm gonna make him pay, pay for what he'd done Now ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna make this quick He said with a hardened look I expect you to tell me just when to expect that no good coward crook The people looked on but none said a word, you could hear a pin fall He looked back at the bar, and said if you don't speak up It's going to be last call Hit a man, and he grabbed his girl, said fine then, this one's through Sir wait, is this a joke I mean sir, the devil is... you
