Lyrics of Ballad of boot hill

Here lies less more
Four slugs from a forty-four
No less no more

Out in arizona just south of tucson
Where tumbleweeds tumble in search of a home
There's a town they call tombstone where the brave never cry
They live by a sixgun by a sixgun they die

It's been a long time now since the town was a boom
The jailhouse is empty so's the palace saloon

Just one look will tell you that this town was real
A secluded old dirt road leads up to boot hill

Walk up to the fence there and look at the view
That's where they were hanging eighteen eighty two
It's easy to see where the brave men have died
Rope marks on the oak tree are now petrified

At night when the moon shines so far away
It gets mighty lonesome lookin' down on their graves
There lies billy clanton never wanted to kill
But he's there with the guilty way up on boot hill (boot hill)
