It was down in a canyon down Mexico way
This is the tale I heard happened one day
We were playing some Poker an plying some boose
Where any old Hombre could win or loseUp from the table jumped YOU ALL GREEN
the baddest Hombre you have ever seen
He said no wonder I can't win a hand tonight
Cos that stranger over there from Texas is between me and the lightWant to hear all about me
Just before I do here's my last decree
My name is YOU ALL GREEN I am from New Orleans
I am about the baddest Hombre you have ever seen.I was born in a barn with a Butcher's knife
trouble I love thieves I despise
Wild Horses kicked me in my side and a Rattle snake bit me and crawled off and diedWhen I was Seven I went to Spain to put the Thunder in cuffs and the Rain in chains
Walked Barbed wire, barefoot for miles or more
Seen lying in the Basin there lays the road.Stranger stood up slow,with his Gun hanging low
Spoke with a draw so deep and lowI am YOU ALL GREEN I'm from New Orleans
I'm about the baddest Hombre you have ever seenHis hand flashed to quick for the Human eye
but he was already look down the barrel of a Forty Five
One shot rang out with a Hell of a roar
and the next body lies there on the floorI am YOU ALL GREEN I am from New Orleans
I, about the baddest Hombre you have ever seen.Have MercyA couple of inaudable lines missing plus a little Artistic licence.
