Woke Up Dead (William H. Bonney) Lyrics

Listen up.
Here he comes.
He's the chosen one.
He was born long ago under sign.
Under a bad sign.
He always crossed the line.
He was born long ago.
...Long ago.
Woke up dead in the southland
Looking for some gold but he's dead instead
Wake up.
He's the one.
One hell of a man.
A loaded gun.
The devil son.
He was born to raise hell.

Lock up your wives.
Before you pay the price.
Hear my warning
It's not a lie
...It's not a lie
Woke up dead in the southland
Looking for some gold but he's dead instead
And that's how the story ends...
William H. Bonney was shot, 14th of July 1881
by Pat Garret
Woke up dead in the southland
Looking for some gold but he's dead instead
