Blood's Thicker Than Water

Death bells are ringing in Wichita town

Two brothers will meet when the sun's going down

Blood's thicker than water poor mother cry

Which son will live which son will dieJimmy Laredo a man with a dream

Sent his young brother Johnny to old Abilene

To bring back his true love by name

Katy Lee the girl he attended his bride to beThe trip was along when they both came to know

That sometimes from friendship a sweet love would grow

He's bringing her back in a new weddin' gown

And there'll be a show down in Wichita townJimmy's not worried his six gun's tied down

And no one outdraws him in Wichita town

But can he do it can he kill his kin

Blood's thicker than water his, ma, cries againThe stage made it stop at the Last Chance Saloon

The crowd all stepped back to give both brothers room

Young Johnny stepped down there was fear in his eyes

But for lover pity he'd gladly dieThey still tell the story to this very day

How their, ma, jumped between them when Jim made it play

She cried out in anguish oh sons are you blind

If you must take a life oh Lord let it be mineDeath bells are ringing in Wichita town

They mourn for a mother whose son's shot her down

And there in the Wichita's street where she lay

Blood's thicker than water her smile seemed to say
