The Story of Billy Bardell - Sheb Wooley

Billy Bardell was a hard ridin' stranger

That came to the cow camp that day

The glint of the sun on his low hangin' gun

Told a tale of a man on the run

Run Billy run Billy run Billy run Billy run

Run Billy run

For as you live you will die you will die by the gun

Said his horse had give out

And he'd liked a fresh mount

Any price that we'd ask he would pay

So we bade him get down throw his pack on the ground

And we'd soon have him back on his way

As he slowly got down he fell to the ground

And his face was so pallid and pale

Said I've run out of luck I got shot in the gut

And the posse is hot on my trail

Run Billy run Billy run Billy run Billy run

Run Billy run

For as you live you will die you will die by the gun

Then a poster he showed told the reason he rode

One thousand in cash was the price

This poor skinny kid had a price on his head

And the poster read dead or alive

In the story he told how his mother was old

And her eyesight was fast growin' dim

He asked us to claim the reward in her name

And not tell her it was for him

Run Billy run Billy run Billy run Billy run

Run Billy run

For as you live you will die you will die by the gun

Then from the distance the poundin' of hoofbeats

There came the posse in sight

Billy Bardell as he looked toward heaven

Said I'll ride a new range tonight

Run Billy run Billy run Billy run Billy run

Run Billy run

For as you live you will die you will die by the gun
