Bounty Hunter by Keller Williams
Bounty Hunter
Bm F#m
"Good everning to you mister" the bounty hunter said
Bm F#m
"Ya dont know me but I know that there's a price on your head
Bm F#m
I know you're wanted dead or a live thats what the posters say
Bm F#m Bm
But I never shoot a man at night when he ain't had time to pray"
Bm F#m
So I'll give until sunrise tomorrow my friend
Bm F#m
Before I come and shoot you down and bring your body in
Bm F#m
I warn that I do my work quite well with a gun or knife
Bm F#m Bm
I've tracked down many a man I've taken many a life
Chorus:
F#m Bm
Father do not mourn for me mother do not weep
F#m Bm
Whatever a man soweth that also shall he reep
Bm F#m
I had a long long sleepless night with the fear upon my breath
Bm F#m
Tryin to get ready with my mornin' duel with death
Bm F#m
I hid up in a hayloft out on the edge of town
Bm F#m Bm
And at sunrise the bounty hunter came to shoot me down
Bm F#m
I fired down at the bounty hunter sandin' out in the street
Bm F#m
He raised his gun and fired at round of shots back up at me
Bm F#m
He hit my chest and shoulder, my gun flew from my hand
Bm F#m Bm
I am standin up in this hayloft a wounded unarmed man
Chorus
Bm F#m
The bounty Hunter he holds his fire and hollors up at me
Bm F#m
"Come out and take it like a man, I make it quick and clean"
Bm F#m
I now my time is runnin out and I got no time to stall
Bm F#m Bm
So reach a grab the pitch fork that hangin' on the wall
Bm F#m
My body arches as I stretch to face the risin' sun
Bm F#m
And I feel like a warrior's bow, freshly carved and strung
Bm F#m
I launch my body through the air with the pitch fork in my hand
Bm F#m Bm
Stabs the bounty hunter in the chest and pins him to the sand
F#m Bm
And now my muscle start to rust and my thoughts are growin' cold
F#m Bm
While Gabriel and Satan, shoot craps for my soul

"Good evening to you mister,"
the bounty hunter said.
"You don't know me,
but I know that there's a bounty on your head.
I know you're wanted dead or alive,
that's what the posters say.
But I ain't ever shoot a man at night,
when he ain't had time to pray."
"So I'll give you until sunrise,
tomorrow my friend,
before I come and shoot you down
and bring your body in.
I warn you that I do my work
quite well with a gun or knife.
I've tracked down many a man,
I've taken many a life."
Father do not mourn for me,
mother do not weep.
Whatever a man soweth,
then also shall he reap.
I had a long long sleepless night,
with the fever upon my breath.
Tryin' to get ready with
my morning duel with death.
I hid up in a hay loft,
out on the edge of town.
And at sunrise that bounty hunter,
he came to shoot me down.
I fired down at the bounty hunter,
he was standing down in the street.
He raised his gun,
and fired a round of shots back up at me.
He hit my chest and shoulder
and my gun flew from my hand.
I'm trapped up in this hay loft,
a wounded unarmed man.
Father do not mourn for me,
mother do not weep.
Whatever a man soweth,
then also shall he reap.
The bounty hunter he holds his fire,
and he hollers up at me and says,
"Come out and take it like a man,
I'll make it quick and clean."
I know my time is runnin' out,
and I got no time to stall,
so I reach and I grab the pitch fork,
that's hanging on the wall.
My body arches as I stretch to face the rising sun.
And I feel like a warriors bow,
freshly carved and strung.
I launch my body through the air,
with the pitch fork in my hand,
stabbed the bounty hunter in the chest,
pinned him to the sand.
And now my muscles,
they start to rust,
and my thoughts have grown cold,
while Gabriel, insane,
she grabs for my soul.
