Unspoken Tradition – Bounty Hunter Lyrics
Artist: Unspoken Tradition
Song: Bounty Hunter
“Good evenin’ to you, mister,” the bounty hunter said
“You don’t know me, but I know there’s a price upon your head
I know you’re wanted dead or alive, that’s what the posters say
But I never shoot a man at night when he ain’t had time to pray
So I’ll give you until sunrise tomorrow, my friend
Before I come to shoot you down and drag your body in
I warn you that I do my work quite well by gun or knife
Well I’ve tracked down many a man, I’ve taken many a life.”
Father, do not mourn for me; mother, do not weep
Whatever a man soweth that also shall he reap
I spent a long and sleepless night with fear upon my breast
Tryin’ to get ready for my mornin’ duel with death
I hid up in a hayloft out on the edge of town
And at sunrise, the bounty hunter came to shoot me down
Well I fired down at the bounty hunter standin’ in the street
He raised his gun and fired a round of shots back up at me
He hit my chest and shoulder and my gun flew from my hand
Now I’m trapped up in this hayloft a wounded unarmed man
Father, do not mourn for me; mother, do not weep
Whatever a man soweth that also shall he reap
The bounty hunter holds his fire and hollers up at me
“come out and take it like a man; I’ll make it quick and clean.”
I know my time is runnin’ out, there’s no way I can stall
So I reach and grab the pitchfork that’s hangin’ on the wall
My body arches as I stretch and face the risin’ sun
And I feel like a warrior’s bow that’s freshly carved and strung
I launch my body through the air and the pitchfork in my hand
Stabs the bounty hunter through the chest and pins him to the sand
Now my muscles start to rust, my thoughts are growin’ cold
While Gabriel and Satan shoot craps for my soul
