Run Willie Run Songtext
von Dee Mullins

The town is down on you, run, Willie, run
Wilma was your darling, Wilma was fun
They found her by the tracks this morning, dead
Your name was mentioned, that was enough said
Your pappy died a killer, boy, your brother did too
So run, Willie, run, that′s all you can do

Run, Willie, run, boy, run for your life
Tomorrow she would have been your wife

She died last night, boy, in the rain
And you, poor Willie, you've got the blame
Her pa is the leader of 12 bad men
There′s hate in his heart and a rope in his hand


So run, Willie, run, boy, run for your life
Tomorrow she would have been your wife

Sorry for you, Willie, that your horse ran lame
Now you'll never get to clear your name
It's for you, Willie, the rope and the tree
So pray, boy, pray, here comes eternity

You ran, Willie, ran, boy, you ran for your life
Tomorrow she would have been your wife

It′s all right, boy
You′ll be with her soon, boy
Yeah, you'll be with her tonight
You will see her tonight, boy
You′ll be with her tonight
