Audience - Barracuda Dan lyrics

Werth-Williams Do you recall that bank job in 1881? We lit out 'cross the country, spent a whole year on the run Not seeing where we went, just looking back the way we come We didn't see the Sheriff sneak up on us from the front Hey Barracuda Dan He was a straight lawman His teeth were a tombstone's span, no, no One look and the badmen ran We had to fight it out there though we knew it were no use We both knew Barracuda and we knew we had to lose But better dyin' Dan's way than dyin' in a noose And swingin while the people cheered and jeered and spat abuse You tried to rope his horse and I fired at his head He caught the bullet in his teeth and spat it in my leg And bit the la**oo through so's it was you that fell instead Then Barracuda's face said "hold it, one move and you're dead" "Now even I can't do all that the law requires me to," Said Dan, "I don't believe in hangin', here's what I'll do I'll take your horses, cash and guns, the rest is up to you" He left us 'neath the desert sun in 1882
