He got killed in a poker game downtown

Didn't take me along

Now all I do is cry all day long

Take my gun along

I'll get that man that done my daddy wrong (oh, yeah)

Get that man that done my daddy wrong

Pretty good with a deck of cards

when the deck of cards are stacked

Steamboat never brought my daddy back

I'm gonna ride that steamboat

Take my gun along

Get that man that done my daddy wrong
