From the recording Head's UP! For '53...Here Comes 3 Blue Teardrops
Spaghetti Western Theme Song
Lyrics
This is a tale of the west....It's the tale of a man....It's the tale of a WANTED MAN!
I'm a lonesome outlaw, I'm a desperado,
hot sun, six gun, boredom, no-fun,
I ain't got nobody by my side.
Ridin' hard all day, blues won't go away
sherriff's men close behind to gun me down and leave me dyin'
got to find a place to run and hide.
Their justice comes out of the barrel of a gun
or leaves you hangin' rottin' stinkin' swingin' in the sun
Oooooooooh Wanted Man
Hot horse, bad lands, posse treadin' through the sands
lever action, lucky shot, I went down and I was caught
they took me to the judge to have me tried.
Poker game incident, gun shots, innocence
Boot Hill, swingin' high, bleedin' hard, weepin' bride
it's the way so many a-young men died
Their justice comes out of the barrel of a gun
or leaves you hangin' rottin' stinkin' swingin' in the sun
Oooooooooh Wanted Man
