Capture of Wolfe Burton Lyrics

The morning brings a silhouette that rides against the dawn

A white rag raised and flapping in the wind

As it grows near we see a chest that bears a ranger's star

Our guns are drawn before its mouth begins

'We've got your friend across the way he's rotting in a cell

We'll trade wolves for bulls and spare your filthy lot!'

A blast is heard, the figure slumps, as blood runs down its head

Kid smiles and spits and tells the corpse to rot

And we won't deal with the ones who have taken our lives

We will bring them a furious fight

We'll wait until the dark of night and for Laredo ride

We'll burn this fucking corpse to turn their heads

We'll move in real quiet, boys, just ropes and fists and knives

If they're standing in the way they end up dead

And we won't deal with the ones who have taken our lives

We will bring them a furious fight

Who do you think you're messing with

Think that you can take our friend

We'll burn you down and paint your red

Don't know it, you're already dead

Who do you think you're messing with

Think that you can take our friend

We'll burn you down and paint your red

Don't know it, you're already dead

Who do you think you're messing with

Think that you can take our friend

We'll burn you down and paint your red

Don't know it, you're already dead

Who do you think you're messing with

Think that you can take our friend

We'll burn you down and paint your red

Don't know it, you're already dead
