Courting A Fued
Lyrics:
Hey, Babe, I hear'd you blow'd away
The sherriff, Holland Rose
Plugged 'im up with lead
From head to toes
Now your son's out a courtin
With his daughter, heaven knows!
This affair's bound to tear
The families into feudin' foes
Ima rose was a mountain beauty
Of the buxom type
Babe's son a dashing ex-marine
Now the two are shootin up the town
In a brand new model-t
I guess the families will be at it
Well into eternity
If your pa shoots my pa
There's a custom on this hill
My son 'll shoot your son
Cause we told 'im that he will
My brother will attest
That he's killed your very best
No love is ever lost after bad blood is spilled
Ima Rose was a mountain beauty
Of the buxom type
Babe's son a dashing ex-marine
Now the two are runnin' booze
In a brand new Model-T
I guess the families will be at it
Well into eternity
Well, Burnette, I read you're want
For the murder of Hol Rose
Wanted all the way to Idaho!
Now your son's out a datin'
The bodacious Ima Rose,
Yes they're armed to the teeth
And they're wearing fancy clothes
This affair gives me a scare
When I see the bullet holes!
