Michael Henderson Songtext
von Big Dave McLean

I′ll never forget the day
When they shot Michael Henderson down
I'll never forget that day
When they shot Michael Henderson down

Two Winnipeg policemen
They laid him dead out on the ground

He was in front of the St. Charles Hotel
He was drunk and he was raisin′ hell
In front of the St. Charles
He was drunk and raisin' hell

He shot his taxi driver
He swore he'd kill that woman as well

Michael ran down the alley
Just as that Garrick theatre was lettin′ out
Michael ran down the alley
Just as that theatre was lettin′ out

Two policemen shot him dead
And the crowd began to shout


Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Michael's father Hank had told me
His son′s life had been a violent one
Ol' Hank had told me
His son′s life had been a violent one

Packin' that sawed-off shotgun
Biggest mistake he′d ever done

His heart filled with sorrow
Jealousy had destroyed his mind
His heart filled with sorrow
Jealousy had destroyed his mind

Now he's sleepin' with the devil
He′s doin′ a year 'til the end of time

I′ll never forget the day
When they shot Michael Henderson down
I'll never forget that day
When they shot Michael Henderson down
Two Winnipeg policemen
They laid him dead out on the ground
I′ll never forget that day
