Johnnys Ten Outlaws Lyrics

Ten outlaws came riding into town
There were six at first
Plus one, two
One two three four

Two outlaws had notches on their guns
Two outlaws had bounties on their heads
Two outlaws were trail-worn, saddle-burned
Two outlaws just wound up full of lead

There were ten outlaws, ten outlaws, ten outlaws
Two were dead
There was eight more

Two outlaws decide to rob a bank
Two outlaws start up a barroom brawl
One was called Larry, one was called Frank
Two outlaws just had to take a fall

There were ten outlaws, ten outlaws, ten outlaws
Four were dead
There was six more

Two outlaws had lovin on their mind
Two outlaws were not the tender kind
Two outlaws deflowered the judge's daughter
Two outlaws hang by the neck cause
The judge didn't think they oughta

There were ten outlaws, ten outlaws, ten outlaws
Six were dead There was four more

All this time there'd been trouble in town
Sheriff John Barstow had been out on the range trackin rustlers down
He heard the word that there was trouble back in his town
So he climbed on his horse and rode back before the sun went down

Meanwhile back in town there's four outlaws still hangin around
Upon hearing of the arrival of the sheriff man
They laid plans to bring his career to its shortest span
Sheriff Barstow just had to go

So they waited down by the jailhouse
A little drunk, a little dirty, a little scared
The sheriff popped up out of nowhere
And filled the air with blazing lead

And there was one shot, two shots, three shots, four shots
Dead, dead, dead, DEAD, DEAD

There were ten outlaws, ten outlaws, ten outlaws
But there isn't anymore
So mop their blood up off the floor
